<p>It was going to be difficult (near impossible) to find a great defensive CF who can also really hit the ball without paying a ton. If Dipoto brings in another corner OF with a solid bat this move will feel a ton better. With the current hype for JBJ from #Boston, Martin actually compares fairly well. Martin is 2 years older at 27 and has 2 years less control but came much cheaper than the supposed player cost for JBJ. Their MLB slash lines aren't pretty.<br />
JBJ-785 PA .213/.290/.349 with an OPS of .638<br />
L. Martin-1461 PA .255/.305/.361 and OPS of .666</p>
