You don't trust Federowicz and his 0.2 WPA+? .
You think Martin's going to return to LA or stay in Pittsburgh? Because he sure isn't coming back to the Bronx anytime soon.
I know about Federowicz's defensive capabilities (his defensive stats are incredible, although they're based on a small sample size) but personally I think you can do a lot worse than having him be a backup catcher. Partly because I'm sure the Dodgers' juggernaut offense can afford to have one more dead bat in their lineup. Although on the other hand the Dodgers lineup appears to be Yasiel Puig and 8 other guys who aren't Yasiel Puig, which isn't exactly ideal.For whatever it's worth the Pirates do have some catching options with Chris Stewart and Tony Sanchez, both will still be with the team next year. Unless Martin takes a significant pay cut, he just might be out of there. After all, the Pirates are the same team that were so cheap that they resorted to lowballing A.J. Burnett (and failed).And speaking of ex-Dodgers the team/ownership was too cheap to keep around, thanks for letting go of Kuroda , he's been a rock even though everybody around here seems to only remember the second half of 2013.
