Victor.

Cleveland Indian Victor Martinez traded to Boston

As we bid adieu to Happy, I suppose I should welcome Victor Martinez, a switch-hitting catcher/first baseman who's not too awful defensively at either first or catcher but has a very nice bat. Sadly, he can't throw anyone out either.

So what do we know about Victor? He's Venezuelan. He was sad to leave Cleveland (I don't begrudge him that fact, it's the only place he's ever known). The reporters in Cleveland seemed to really like him. He was willing to give catching Wake a shot at the all-star game. And he wears very expensive t-shirts.
