Hot! Carlos Pena Among Options For Replacing Tigers Victor Martinez

So we are now evaluated the cost, statistically anyway, with the ' likely dropping for everyone connected with 2012. I've posited that he could most likely have happen to be likely to bat in relation to a 3 hundred average, having a .360 OBP and .450 or therefore slugging average. Now the dilemma arises: How do the Tigers constitute for that?

Popular recommendations I've go through hence far, classified by no particular order:

Casey Kotchman

Carlos Pena

Yoenis Cespedes

Carlos Lee

Alfonso Soriano

Johnny Damon

Manny Ramirez

Magglio Ordonez

Carlos Guillen

There's J.D. Drew. He suffered through a genuine frustrated in 2011, using accidents and inquiries with regards to his commitment. The past two seasons he's endured below-average BABIP, whilst his batting ordinary fell coming from .255 to help .222. The OBP, buoyed by way of a wonderful walk rate, fell, too. Plus the energy dropped off of previous year. But again, if Drew bounces back, the effects may be interesting. Bill James Online planned a .252 / .360 / .415 line. That's around the exact on-base fraction when I'd expect from Martinez, but less power. However, Drew could engage in while in the outfield along with lump Delmon Young to help DH. So I like this idea. He does boxing techinque out there some sort of lot, though.
