VICTOR MARTINEZ Former Scrapper expects more

The Indians catcher had a breakthrough season in 2004.
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) -- In his first full season in the big leagues last year, Cleveland's Victor Martinez emerged as one of the AL's best offensive catchers.
This year, he's looking for even bigger things.
"It helps having played up here all of last year. I've been around the league. I've seen the pitchers. I feel a lot more comfortable," said Martinez, a switch-hitter who led catchers with 108 RBIs and tied Baltimore's Javy Lopez for the most homers by a catcher with 23.
"I don't feel any pressure," he said. "I worked hard in the winter. I know if I keep working hard, everything will be OK. I'm really excited."
Manager Eric Wedge doesn't think high expectations will get the best of Martinez.
"Victor is very mature and level-headed in the way he gets ready," Wedge said. "He's confident. He doesn't let things bother him. I don't think that will be a problem."
Lineup adjustment
Hitting has never been a problem for Martinez, who batted over .300 four times in his minor league career. But his success in the majors came more quickly than anyone thought.
"I surprised myself a little. I did it in the minors, but I wasn't so sure I'd do it up here in my first year," said Martinez, who hit .283 last season.
"We knew that Victor was capable of doing that, but we didn't know he could do it so quickly," Wedge said.
Wedge is thinking about moving Martinez from fourth to third in the batting order if right fielder Juan Gonzalez bats cleanup. In that case, designated hitter Travis Hafner would hit fifth. If Gonzalez isn't on the team, Hafner likely will bat third and Martinez will hit fourth.
"We'll see how that plays out in spring training and make a decision," said Wedge.
A former catcher himself, Wedge would like to see Martinez continue to develop his skills behind the plate.
"He knows his most important job is to handle the pitching staff," Wedge said. "That's his No. 1 priority."
"I'm still learning back there," said Martinez. "I like to work with the pitchers. I'm always trying to get better behind the plate."
