Hip Torn

Russell Martin suffered a torn labrum in his right hip. He’s likely done for the year.

Given the millions Martin could expect to earn if the Dodgers retain him for next season, I’m wondering if Martin has played his last game in a Dodger uniform.

Martin’s power slowly eroded over the last three years, but he still does a good job of getting on base. The Dodgers should worry if he’ll be able to catch again, however. If he can’t catch, getting on base at a decent rate with no power is much less attractive.

    Thats the end of his career as a catcher, and thats the end of the Dodgers season as well.
    Wonder who gets Manny, White Sox or Rays.

    Not a good week for catchers with Santana also going down.
