When Josh Martin was named to the Opening Day roster, the baseball community was surprised by the move. When he was designated for assignment the following day, some smart people read some clarity into the move. By placing him on the 25-man roster, albeit momentarily, AJ Preller bought himself ten days to find a way to try to keep Martin that would allow him to be assigned to a minor league team, which would have required some sort of trade with the team from which he was drafted. Alas, no deal was worked out, and today Josh Martin was returned to the Cleveland Indians.
