Post-PED Marte continues to struggle. He has played 23 games so far in winter ball, and is hitting .221 with 1 HR...a .299 OBP, .325 SLG and .624 OPS. Unless something changes drastically during spring training, he seems destined to start in AAA to prove himself again.
I was stoked when they got Marte, and I'm not totally giving up hope for him, but man he's looked lost since returning from the suspension...and to make matters worse, his defense, which has never been great, has also gotten worse...including 5 errors and a sub .900 fielding % in winter ball.
Unless they add somebody to the mix, right now it looks like a combination of Candelario and Santiago at 3rd.
