It was a quick six week cameo as a member of the Cincinnati Reds for OF Nick Martini. The 29 year old was claimed off waivers from Oakland at the end of November, but was the unlucky member of the 40-man roster to be designated for assignment last week when the Reds announced the official signing of Shogo Akiyama. And while there was some hope he might slip through waivers and remain in the Reds organization for depth, that hope ended today when he was claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies.
