And if Martin injures himself and is out for an extended period of time?

 

a team cannot cover every risk. what if stroman needs TJS? what if JD breaks his wrist with a home plate dive?

This is my biggest concern with having Thole as backup. If Martin comes down with any prolonged injury over the season we have only a average defensive BC that can't hit.

You could say the same thing for every star around the league. If Josh Donaldson gets hurt the team will take an even bigger loss.

Yes you can. If Mike Trout gets hurt the Angels are dead.
