Russell Martin Will Crouch Behind The Plate Today

But will he be able to do it without injuring or re-aggravating anything?  That's the big question.

Odds on what happens today:

- Martin manages to catch his share of innings without discomfort- 25:1

- Martin manages to catch his share of innings without injury- 13:2

- Martin manages to catch his share of innings but re-aggravates his hip injury- 5:1

- Martin manages to catch his share of innings but re-aggravates his knee injury- 3:1

- Martin leaves the game early with some kind of injury/discomfort- 2:1

As you can tell, I'm not exactly optimistic about this today, especially considering he's wearing a protective brace and he's admittedly still not 100%.  In any case, I know Jesus Montero's future with the 25-man heading into the season has a lot riding on the outcome of Martin's catching debut today.
