Francisco Martinez - 3B - Mariners

Marinerts optioned 3B Francisco Martinez to Triple-A Tacoma.

Martinez batted .289/.321/.426 with 10 home runs, 69 RBI and a .746 OPS over 509 plate appearances at the Double-A level last season. The 21-year-old needs to work on his plate discipline before he's ready for a taste of the big leagues.

Francisco Martinez - 3B - Mariners

Mariners purchased the contract of 3B Francisco Martinez from Double-A Jackson.

The move protects him from December's Rule 5 Draft. Martinez, a 21-year-old third baseman, was acquired from the Tigers in July as part of the Doug Fister deal. He batted .289/.321/.426 with 10 home runs, 69 RBI and a .746 OPS over 509 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season. While his plate discipline needs improvement, he has held his own offensively against older competition.

Francisco Martinez - 3B - Mariners

Mariners acquired 3B Francisco Martinez from the Tigers in the Doug Fister deal.

Martinez, 20, was ranked by Baseball America coming into the season as the Tigers' fourth-best prospect, but he was blocked by Nick Castellanos and thus was viewed by Detroit as expendable. He hasn't been terribly productive in the minors to this point and sports a .279/.316/.402 batting line with seven homers this season for Double-A Erie. He's young for the Eastern League, though, and profiles as a solid regular if he can reach his potential.
