OH MY GOODNESS CRUSADERS FANS! I don't believe it. Alfredo Martinez! The Alfredo Martinez! Not this one. They future hall of famer is now a California Crusader! This is ... I ... hoooookay. So, I guess Ted Schmidt isn't a miserly bas. ... umm ... so he's my boss. Gotta be careful here. Well ... you see .. Mr. Schmidt is pretty well known for not spending big on players. Especially in free agency. A quantity over high priced quality ... if you will, approach. So this. Well ... to call it a surprise is an understatement.
Then again, we did drop a money bomb on Fernando Moreno a few years back, so .... Speaking of Moreno, oh my .. if Martinez gets that kind of boost from playing in our lefty friendly park, he could have some kind of a season. There is a downside. Mr. Martinez does not have the greatest outfield range anymore, and will have to play right field. Maybe this will work. Hmm.... I mean, right field really isn't that big in South Pacific Field. It could be okay, I suppose.
It seems the Crusaders have waived Tradt Kazarov to make room for Martinez on the roster. I've heard they are about to buy him out. That's ... um ... unfortunate, especially considering this would be the first year of an extension he just signed last season. Seven plus million, down the drain. Ugh. We had some good times with Tradt, who could use another vowel in his first name. Age caught up with him pretty quickly.
I guess this makes Flynn Johnson the backup. That's solid. He can be a defensive replacement while still providing some offensive value against right handed pitchers. Not too shabby.
Did I mention I'm really excited about Alfredo Martinez! Whoooooo!!!! There are contract terms. Who cares what they are! Go Crusaders!
