John Sickels gave Martinez C+ grade:
7) Osvaldo Martinez, SS, Grade C+: .230/.286/.306 with 18 walks, 48 strikeouts in 278 at-bats for New Orleans. 3-for-20 in the majors. The bat is going to be a big problem, and he only ranked this high due to the weakness of the system. Baseball America had him fifth.
As I said earlier, could the minor league pitcher be 20-year old Class-A+ prospect LHP Chad James?

John Sickels had this to say for Chad James:
3) Chad James, LHP, Grade B- 3.89 ERA with 114/47 K/BB in 134 innings for High-A Jupiter, 155 hits, 3-15 record. He hasn’t been awful but is hittable. Young at 20.
Sickels’ grades are from last year. Comments are from his review.
