Maybe his thumb is finally feeling better. Maybe he likes playing at the Trop. Victor Martinez almost single-handedly willed the Red Sox to 3 wins this weekend.
Victor had 2 home runs in a game 1 3-1 win. He put the Red Sox ahead in game 2 with an 8th inning shot. He had 2 putouts at the plate. He threw out a few base-stealers. He hit over .500 for the series. Not a bad weekend.
Where has this performance been all year? From Victor's side of things, a good finish to the season can only make a decision on his free agency contract for 2011 more complicated for the Red Sox brass. Should he stay or should he go? Should he catch or should he be a 1B/DH?
Victor will be one of several interesting player decisions facing Theo & Co. after the season is over. There will be no shortage of hot stove stories this winter.
