Bigsoxhurt35 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Victor Martinez tore the medial meniscus in his left knee last week during an offseason workout and is scheduled to undergo surgery on February 10. Dr. James Andrews will perform the procedure. It's not all that serious as far as knee injuries go, but the timing is obviously quite poor with major league camps due to open in two weeks. V-Mart has to be considered questionable for the start of the 2015 regular season and the Tigers might no longer risk trying the 36-year-old slugger at positions other than DH. Martinez was re-signed to a four-year, $68 million free agent contract back in mid-November.

witesoxfan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Why is this in the sox forum? It's the offseason, news is slow, and this is indirectly related to the White Sox as the player who he was the best hitter for the divisional opponent with the biggest target on its back.

A torn meniscus is pretty minor. He should be back by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if Andrews takes out the torn portion or repairs it. If he removes it, it is 4-6 weeks. If he repairs it, it could be 4-5 months.

greg775 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Damn. Feel bad for the guy. Once again this shows the danger of signing these guys as they age to mega buck deals. Lot of Sox fans wanted him. This injury could start a rapid decline. Rapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have a feeling you reverse-jinxed MVP numbers out of him, haha. Will be interesting to see how much time in the regular season he misses, if any. Viciedo would make sense as a stop-gap solution...plus, he always gets compared to former Tiger Delmon Young in terms of plate discipline, line drive swings and unfulfilled potential.

Which is an even more hilarious notion than before this happened. Maybe the Tigers are better off having this happen in the offseason than during some game he would have caught in May.

Dick Allen Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think a lot depends on how torn it its. Ron Artest missed 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as a young basketball player he made the correct decision of having it repaired. Wade had the torn portion removed and has had problems ever since. As a 36 year old baseball player I would imagine Martinez will opt for the quickest route possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
