Ethan Martin says he expects to sign quickly

He says he notified the coaching staff at Clemson, where he had committed to go as a quarterback, that he plans to sign with Dodgers. He is being advised by Al Goetz, the same agent who has Jonathan Broxton, who like Martin is from Georgia. … By the way, Ethan also said he didn’t actually THROW his helmet in advance of that incident in the state championship game, that he started up the first base line because he thought he had taken ball four but that when it subequently was called a strike for the final out of the inning, he waited for a teammate to bring him his glove, then casually tossed his helmet into the dugout as he would after any other inning.

Matt Kemp is apparently appealing his suspension, because he is in tonight’s lineup
