Fernando Martinez is injured. He was over-matched before he was injured, and I’m not sure sitting for a couple of games is the best way for him to develop into a Major League hitter.
So why is he still on the roster?
These guys aren’t Albert Pujols in waiting, but they’re hitting pretty well down in Buffalo.
What could it hurt to see one of them?
Jesus Feliciano is a left fielder hitting .302 in 74 games. He’s got 17 doubles, 34 RBI, and no errors. He was also 6-for-16 with two walks in the World Baseball Classic for Puerto Rico.
Cory Sullivan is hitting .301 in 77 games in center field. He's got 35 runs, 15 doubles, two home runs, and 24 RBI. He also has not committed an error.
Neither are sluggers, but they seem to be solid baseball players that likely won’t be worse than Fernando Martinez, who can recover and get everyday playing time back in Buffalo for now.
