1. Victor Martinez, Boston Red Sox: Martinez has always been known to put up spectacular offensive stats. This year is no different then any other. Martinez is hitting .294 with eight home runs and 29 RBI’s. The Red Sox picked up Martinez last year to replace the aging team captain Jason Varitek. Martinez has been a huge upgrade offensively over Varitek and he is trying to fill the void of Manny Ramirez and Jason Bay as the Red Sox premier offensive player. With the resurgence of David Ortiz and the great hitting from Kevin Youkilis and Martinez, the Red Sox are creeping their way back into the AL East making the AL East a three-man race between them the Yankees and Blue Jays.

But as the sides get set to meet on Thursday night for the first time since June 11, the Red Sox are the ones looking up at the Bronx Bombers, who lead the American League East by 2 1/2 games.

Since head-to-head dominance has amounted to nothing for the Red Sox, maybe the presence of new impact bat Victor Martinez will be the weapon that will dent New York.
