Martinez does qualify as an injury risk in 2010, but the reward of having a catcher that can produce like Martinez outweighs the risk. Filling one of your catcher's spots with Martinez is a smart move in 2010. .290-85-20-95-0 in 540 AB

Positives / Upside	Things couldn't have gone better for V-Mart in 2009. He bounced back from a disappointing 2008 and was dealt out of Cleveland to the Red Sox, where he'll have ample RBI opportunities and score a lot of runs. A full year in Boston could result in career highs in runs, home runs, and RBI. V-Mart is an elite option at catcher. .300-90-25-100-0 in 570 AB
Negatives / Downside	Whenever a player has a down year like Martinez did in 2008, at least some concern exists that another poor season is a possibility. While Martinez's 2008 can be explained by the injuries he struggled with that season, the chance of another injury does linger, especially since Martinez will be play primarily behind the plate in 2010. .275-80-15-90-0 in 520 AB
Recommendation	Buy at cost
