Soxfest Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) According to MLB.com's Jason Beck, Victor Martinez suffered a torn ACL during winter conditioning and could miss the 2012 season if the injury requires surgery. Absolutely brutal news for the Tigers. Martinez had a .330/.380/.470 batting line with 12 home runs and 103 RBI in 145 games last season as Detroit's primary designated hitter. He also started 26 games at catcher. The Tigers will struggle mightily to replace his offense but might try to get a little more active on the free agent market if the 33-year-old is indeed going to miss the year. Free agent Carlos Pena seems like a decent fit. Rotoworld Big hit too Det lineup! Edited January 17, 2012 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So to see Zduriencik give up Michael Pineda – 95-mph-throwing, plus-slider-commanding, ace-in-waiting Michael Pineda – brought to mind three possibilities: The Mariners question Pineda’s durability, the Mariners are head-over-heels in love with Jesus Montero or both. Montero, ostensibly a catcher but likelier a DH, came as the meat of the deal, though right-hander Hector Noesi, who this winter pitched in a game and got married immediately after, should replace Pineda in the rotation. Montero should hit even with Safeco Field’s monster dimensions that scared off Prince Fielder. (More on that to come.) [ Related: Deal with Mariners turns Yankees into instant favorites ] Still, if he sticks at DH as most expect, the 22-year-old will try to become the fifth player in history to top four wins above replacement at the position. Yes, the only players with 90 percent of their games at DH and four-plus-WAR seasons, according to Baseball-Reference.com, are Edgar Martinez (with seven, including a DH-high 7.7 in 1995), David Ortiz (three), Travis Hafner (three) and Jim Thome (one). Thome is a Hall of Famer. Martinez is borderline. Ortiz will get plenty of votes. And Hafner was one of the game’s elite sluggers until injuries derailed him. Twenty-two pitchers posted WARs of four or better last season alone. Even though Zduriencik got starter Hisashi Iwakuma at an absolute bargain for $1.5 million, signed George Sherrill and Aaron Heilman to strengthen a mediocre bullpen and made the biggest mistake in the history of the world by letting Wily Mo Pena go to Japan, where they’ll appreciate what he does, this will be the offseason of Montero for Pineda. In a season that will be 162 games of staring at the Texas Rangers’ and Los Angeles Angels’ turbo boosters, the after-the-fact deconstruction of the deal will provide endless fascination. jeff passan yahoo.com/sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
