Just guessing but I’d say the only chance Michael Martinez has to stick with the Phillies is if he beats out Wilson Valdez.
I enjoy following a writer by the name of John Sickels who writes a minor league prospect book every year and his analysis of this pick by the Phillies was, “IF, from Nationals: 28 years old, hit .272/.312/.408 with 23 steals between Double-A and Triple-A. Good glove, some speed, but undersized at 5-9, 145, and has little upside given his age. I can’t say I understand this pick.”Quintin Berry was taken in the AA phase by the Mets and is now listed on the roster of the Binghamton Mets of the Eastern League.
