If I get any right it will be a miracle.

I maybe should have gone for the guaranteed 1 point by putting the same name on all 10. But that's not sporting.

So I read the instructions, came up with four Martini (it was five until I remembered that Vladimir was a Guerrero), and realizing that discretion is the better part of valour, hiked my happy ass on down to the minors. Hi there, Vibes! Yes, Colorado Springs has a baseball team with the same name as a personal device. The funny part is, they aren't even in contention for the most ridiculous name in the minors. (Hey, idea for another bag!) Here's another great idea: Have a game split into NBA and G League comprised of identifying Nuggets players by jersey number...

The point of this challenge is to provide the first name of each MLB-playing Martinez (past or present) from the given clues.
