PT TOMORROW: AL Central—J.D. Martinez a potential power source?
Jun 24 2014
J.D. Martinez (OF, DET) started five games in a row while Torii Hunter (OF, DET) was recovering from a hamstring strain. Manager Brad Ausmus has said that he is considering a four-outfielder rotation when Hunter returns. This would mean increased playing time for Martinez, who has hit seven HR in 113 AB with a .310 BA (.307 xBA). Martinez’s PX of 208 (xPX of 177) suggests he could be a significant power source if he gets steady AB. Hunter, Austin Jackson (OF, DET), and Rajai Davis (OF, DET) could all lose some AB if Martinez establishes a place in the outfield rotation. The situation will get even more complicated when Andy Dirks (OF, DET) returns. Dirks is expected to go on a minor league rehab assignment very soon.
