Just who is this "Russ Martin"?
At least SI.com's Tom Verducci gave props to Brad Penny and Takashi Saito as well (what, no Peavy or Hoffman?).
SP: Brad Penny, Los Angeles
RP: Takashi Saito, Los Angeles
C: Russ Martin, Los Angeles
Could become only the second catcher in history to steal 25 bases and drive in more than 75 runs (Ivan Rodriguez, 1999).
Now 20-3 before the break in the past two seasons. Of course, he suffered second-half meltdown last year (6-7, 6.25) and was useless by the postseason.
He's having a Dennis Eckersley kind of season. Saito has walked only three batters (zero leadoff hitters, zero left-handed batters, zero on the road) and held righties to a .107 average.
