In my book it says that PI is overstating the SS "battle" between Sardinas and Marte. Were there really a "battle" it might be Marte who got some CF reps this spring, as he's played well there before.
I don't remember who first pointed this out last year, but there is some kind of a Butch and Sundance deal with Cano and Marte. Don't know if it is the Dominican story they share or just a great mentor-mentee dynamic. Cano's 2nd half slugfest did largely coincide with Marte as his SS pard.
Marte will have to throw the ball into the stands a bunch AND swing like a rusty gate before Sardinas bumps him aside.
In my book, anyway.
