Martinez conundrum...
Roberto Martinez, 26 years old with a mid 90's fastball. The 2021 Koufax Award winner. A 3 time all star. Missed about 10 starts last year but the season was a wash when he did pitch. His peripherals weren't off, but the W/L and ERA was.
Coming in this year he was my 1A to Hall's 1. If you take his 22 starts last year, 10 this year, that's about a seasons worth of starts, 32.
In his last 32 starts here's the line.
11-11 5.51 192.2 IP 204 H 28 HR's 59 BB 177 K's. That's a number 5 guy, if that. Certainly not on this staff. He's got a 10.8M club option for next year that, barring catastrophe, I pick up. But the next 20 or so starts are being made on the 'hope' that he finds his self and bounces back.
