Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers inked utility infielder Ramon Martinez to a one year, $800,000 deal.   There’s also a club option for 2008 that would cost the Dodgers $1 million.

Martinez is a low cost player that can fill a variety of roles.  He did hit .278 last year, but he did it with not much power.  Regardless, he gives the Dodgers a versatile player who play just about anywhere.

Nomar Garciaparra was honored by his peers as the Comeback Player of the Year.  The Player’s Choice awards are voted on by the players so this is especially sweet.  Now we just have to make sure we get Nomar back in Dodger blue for 2007.
