Off the 40-man roster seems like a good place for Michael Martinez. Like that one better than giving away Herndon.

His skill seems to be not walking people. He hasn’t even done that in the majors, yet, but I’d guess he might if he gets enough chances. He was better than okay for the Phillies in 2011 when righties hit 200/255/285 against him.

Don’t think it’s a huge deal, but I’m a little surprised the Phillies felt they had no use for him, even out till mid-season after Tommy John.

Hopefully this doesn’t mean they think they have a ton of talented relievers they can count on for 2013. I think they have Aumont and De Fratus and a bunch of borderline guys among their relief youth movement.

Also, I really think rebuilding your team via the Rule V draft is a poor idea. See also: Michael Martinez. But not so much Shane Victorino. If they want to get guys as good as Victorino, they should rebuild via the Rule V draft as much as they want. They’ve hurt themselves recently, though.
