Martin wasn’t producing at even a below-average clip.
He was hitting .111 with a double, four steals and an anemic .172 on-base percentage and a .130 slugging percentage in 15 games.
These numbers could have been taken from a few dozen major leaguers earning better than 5 million a year (slightly more than the 4.85 mill Trader Jerry is paying Leonys this year):
Grandy, 17 million/Mets, now hitting .149
Joyce, 5 million/A's, now hitting .170
Bautista, 18 million/Jays, now hitting .132
But the all-time classic: Bobby Bo/1.19 million/Mets/ hasn't batted since 2001!!!
