Well I don't think 119 is good enough to get in the Hall of Fame.

Seriously though.... the numbers aren't the end all....just an
addition to the games....and the books....and the talk shows....et al.

I never suggested that Martin was available or available for little in
return. I only suggested that his trade value has declined some from
2007 (OPS = .843). His OPS in 2009 was only .680 --- it is up some so
far this year (.772 --- around league average for position players but
above the .717 average for catchers).
