Player Notes

July 1, 2009
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Russell Martin's offensive struggles have caused the Dodgers to sit him for the next three days.

Our View:The team is calling it a mental break. Martin is hitting just .192 in June and has struggled all season with a .247 average and hit for very little power. He now joins A-Rod and Jimmy Rollins on the list of high profile fantasy players that have been benched due to poor performance. At least the Dodgers aren't calling it anxiety. Martin is set to return to the lineup on Friday.

June 20, 2009
Russell Martin finally hit his first home run of the season on Saturday as the Dodgers beat the Angels 6-4. Martin went 3-for-4 with the homer, two runs scored, and an RBI in the win.

Our View:Martin has been a major disappointment this season, but maybe his power will start to take off now that he has the first one in the books. He is still a solid fantasy catcher, but if the power comes he will return to elite status.

June 2, 2009
Dodgers catcher Russell Martin will not be in the starting lineup tonight according to MLB.com.

Our View:Manager Joe Torre says that it is just a scheduled day off. Brad Ausmus will start in his place.

May 25, 2009
Russell Martin was 3-for-6 with two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in Monday's 16-6 win over the Rockies.

Our View:Martin has not yet lived up to the lofty expectations that he had entering the season, but he is having a much better May than April. All five of his stolen bases have come this month and he is hitting .349 compared to just .205 in April.

May 9, 2009
Russell Martin didn't see a lot of pitches to hit, but was still a big factor in the Dodgers' 8-0 win over the Giants. He was 1-for-1 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base in the contest.

Our View:Martin has been struggling this season. His average is at .275 and he has yet to hit a home run. He's still getting on base at a .393 clip, but is slugging like Scott Podsednik (.324). Hopefully he turns it around soon.
