Martinez closer than we think?

The NY Post Mets blog says F Mart may be the starting LF at CitiField by the All Star Break. Interesting.

SS Reyes (S)
2B Murphy (L)
3B Wright (R)
1B Delgado (L)
CF Beltran (S)
RF Church (L)
LF FMart (L)
C Schneider (L)

Left handed pitching is going to give us all kinds of problems this year, F Mart or no.

2 small points:

1--F-Mart's a righthanded hitter

2--He's currently nursing an elbow tendon strain so they may go slow with his recovery

No, he throws right but bats left.

See here:

"Martinez is a left-handed power hitter who possesses all five tools necessary to be considered a potential star in the major leagues."

I hope they go slow. I think he needs ample time for the elbow to recover, and he's only had one full season at AA.
