At the time of the trade, the club said he'd need some more Triple-A seasoning before he'd be big-league ready, and he proved as much with a slump at the plate at the outset of '06.<BR/><BR/>In recent weeks, though, Marte has been as productive as they come. He earned International League Player of the Month honors in June by batting .304 with 10 homers and 22 RBIs. Earlier this month, he took home the Home Run Derby crown at the Triple-A All-Star Game in Toledo.<BR/><BR/>For the season, Marte has hit .261 with 15 homers and 46 RBIs. He's made 19 errors in the field.<BR/><BR/>The Indians had several front-office staff members check Marte out in recent days, with general manager Mark Shapiro getting the final look earlier this week.<BR/><BR/>With veteran third baseman Aaron Boone struggling both at the plate and in the field this season, the club is expected to give Marte regular starts at the position. Boone could be traded before the July 31 deadline, released or placed in a utility role.<BR/><BR/>This will be the second taste of the Majors for Marte, originally a Braves prospect who was shipped to the Red Sox during the Winter Meetings last December. A September callup to Atlanta last year, he hit .140 (8-for-57) with four RBIs in 24 games.<BR/><BR/>This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.<BR/><BR/>Indians Homepage | MLB.comt-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1154098779495582462006-07-28T10:59:00.001-04:002006-07-28T10:59:00.001-04:00also, cavs throwbacks next season, check http://ww...also, cavs throwbacks next season, check http://www.uniwatchblog.com/t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1154098753072084372006-07-28T10:59:00.000-04:002006-07-28T10:59:00.000-04:00from someone i know, who is definitely in the know...from someone i know, who is definitely in the know...<BR/><BR/>"<BR/>I just flew into Cleveland today to chill with my folks and LeCharles happens to be a friend of the family... the "Keys" family is royally ticked off. Unofficially, this had a little to do with a certain unsigned rookie who was trying waaaay too hard to impress people on the first day of camp. What should have been a walk-through type drill ended up being human carnage, and now the Bentley is immobile, perched atop blocks in the front yard. If my last name was Savage, I'd cut the bastard who did this today just so that I'd never have to see him again.<BR/><BR/>All the same, injuries happen in sports. Its part of the game, not a voo-doo curse."t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1154097964056663472006-07-28T10:46:00.000-04:002006-07-28T10:46:00.000-04:00This business with LaCharles is just so disturbing...This business with LaCharles is just so disturbing....I can't get over it?
