Edgar Martinez Profile

The Press Herald has a nice article about Sea Dogs closer Edgar "Baby Guapo" Martinez in today's paper.

Also of note, the Sox finally cut ties with utilityman Raul Nievez. I didn't start out as a fan of Nievez because he's not much of a hitter, but his versatility certainly came in handy, especially on the occasions when the Sea Dogs found themselves short a player or two on the roster. Nievez also seemed to relate well with the fans, which is always nice to see, too. Alas, there's only so long that a guy can hang around the upper minors if it doesn't look like he's going to be a big leaguer. Nievez, for all of his versatility and heart, doesn't seem to have the talent to be a big leaguer. It's too bad to see good guys go, but that's the way the game is some times.
