Blue Jays' Russell Martin: Will determine his own workload

Manager John Gibbons said Martin's workload this season will largely depend on how much the catcher wants to take on, Corey Long of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Gibbons' statement is encouraging for owners who drafted Martin. According to FanGraphs, the veteran has handled more innings than any other American League catcher over the past three seasons, and the addition of Jarrod Saltalamacchia was seen as a move made to lessen the load on Martin. Volume is a big factor in valuing today's fantasy catchers, and the 34-year-old will apparently have a chance to surpass 440 at-bats for a third straight campaign.
