Martinez joins the Revs after catching in the Atlantic League for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs and Lancaster Barnstormers the last two seasons. A Los Angeles native, Martinez batted .296 for the Barnstormers in 2010, and is highly regarded as a strong defensive backstop. The 31-year-old was originally a 10th round draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles in 1999, and was the MVP of the Appalachian League in just his second pro season. He spent parts of three years at Triple-A with both the Orioles and the Los Angeles Dodgers organizations and is a career .271 hitter over 12 minor league seasons.
