Via Rotoworld- According to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com, the Mets have placed former top prospect Fernando Martinez on waivers.

Wow. I know that his development has stalled but he's only 23 years old and there's plenty of untapped potential here I think, I have to think that he'll get claimed by a number of teams. Anyone else as surprised by this as I am? As an Astros fan, I would love to see them take a stab at F-Mart and see if he can work into a platoon with the late-blooming Brian Bogusevic in right field.
