The White Sox acquired Martinez from the Miami Marlins this off-season as a part of the compensation for manager Ozzie Guillen.
The 24-year-old has appeared in 34 games at the major league level as a member of the Marlins, the team that drafted him in 2006. Over his 66 at-bats, Martinez has maintained a line of .258/.300/.348.
Prior to the trade, Martinez had played in 60 games for the White Sox Triple-A affiliate. Over his 214 at-bats, he hit at a clip of only .178/.221/.229 with 11 doubles and 15 runs scored. Martinez owns a career minor league OPS of .659.
