Detroit Tigers Finally Get It Right With Victor Martinez

Victor Martinez is a tough competitor and an important part of the Detroit Tigers since he joined the team in 2011, at least until the start of the 2015 season. This week the Tigers finally took the obvious step they’ve been refusing to take all season. They put Martinez on the 15-day disabled list.

Tigers’ management has been watching Martinez struggle since opening day due to his partially healed meniscus tear while hoping a miracle cure was only an at-bat away.

From the right side of the plate Martinez has been giving the Tigers the same threatening lineup presence that he delivered from both sides of the plate in 2014.
