Third base

Russell Martin is not a Third Basement. He is the emergency Third-basement. He only played their because nomar got injured.Ramgar11 (talk)May, 2, 2008

- Incorrect. First, it is a Third Baseman, not a Third Basement. Second, Torre has said that Martin will be making several starts at Third instead of sitting out of games to rest. In fact, today is Martin's first start at Third. http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080502&content_id=2627891&vkey=news_la&fext=.jsp&c_id=la —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.213.245.30 (talk) 01:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - That does not make him a third baseman. His primary position is still catcher and that is what his position should be listed at. He may make an occasional appearance at third.. But he is going to play the position enough for it to be mentioned as a primary position. Spanneraol (talk) 13:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- - - Of course his primary position is catcher. That is not the point. He will be regularly playing third, which warrants a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.213.245.30 (talk) 01:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - He won't be regurly playing third. He will catch most to almost all the games he plays. playing third is a 5-10 times a season thing. just like Posada or victor Martinez playing first Ramgar11 (talk)may, 5, 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 02:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - According the Dodgers website, he will likely play more like 20-25 games a year at third.
