is that the Jose martinez that was a Cub's coach at one time??? If so I have to agree that he is a great guy! I used to work for the teams front office and had a chnace to meet him many times.
His claims of being on the Phillies seem plausible because, if he is the same guy that worked for the Cub's, Dallas Green brought ALOT of Philly people with him when he came to the Cubs in 1982. Front office staff, players even coaches came with him. So it would not seem to be a stretch that he may have had a sip of coffee with the Phillies during that time frame and came to the Cubs with the wave of Philly imports..
