Peter Gammons reported that we could have had Victor Martinez for Clay Buchholtz. You make that deal. Buchholtz is a Quadruple A pitcher. Martinez is a switch-hitting catcher with pop who's still fairly young (30) and would have propelled us to the title. We need bats right now, not arms. Plus, if/when he leaves at the end of next year, we'd get a first round draft pick as compensation, and possibly two. Instead we got Adam LaRoche for practically nothing. We'll see if he can come through, but that's not a sure thing like Martinez's production.
