Victor Martinez is out for the season with a torn ACL, taking the DH out for the year.
This sucks for the Tigers and losing an 100 RBI bat always sucks and they will now how to search threw the corpses left in free agency and see if Johnny Damon, Vladimir Guerrero, Hideki Matsui, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen.
But I want to just give a shout out to the people who are saying, "see it was a good move to let V Mart go", shut up. Injuries to people who leave is such a weird feeling, because it could be a thing where it's a different situation and they may not have been injured here.
Letting VMart go was one of the things I didn't understand that offseason and although he would most likely be a DH now, getting one and a half years of him at catcher would have been a lot better than what we dealt with last year. Also VMart was a good club house guy and seeing what happened last year, he could have only helped during the chicken and beer nonsense.
