Vmart’s miserable 2015 was due to injury. If healthy, he’s a top 15 hitter in the game, but he’s usually not healthy. I still think the tigers should get a pretty valuable piece if they eat some money. It’s hard to be an underrated slugger, but he definitely is.
Nola Di Bari 67
Underrated and over aged and over hurt.
Nick4747
Over hurt I don’t think so he’s only had that one season 2012 he’s played 154 120 151 159 that injury and 145 that seems pretty healthy to me.
MLBTRS
They must be thinking of another Victor Martinez; he’s averaged 592 PA over the past seven seasons that he’s played and only once was he under 500 PA during that period (about 460 in 2015) Teams should be so lucky to get someone that healthy, plus his kind of production from their DH.
jd396
One of the more impressive pure hitters out there.
stryk3istrukuout
Top 15? Not anymore. Maybe top 35-40. He’s probably the fourth best hitter on his team alone at this point. Not saying he’s bad by any means because he still is productive, but the game has evolved as of these last few years especially.
afenton530
Name the three better
afenton530
I can think of miggy, maybe JD
bigkempin
Top 15? VMart’s BA is pretty consistent but his power is all over the map. He’s only played 150+ games 5 times in his entire career…2006,2009,2013,2014,2016. You’re telling me that in those years you would take VMart over everyone except 14 other hitters? 2014 was obviously a huge year but lets be real here…..
Bald Vinny
How many catchers you know that play 150+ games a year?
johnsilver
He hasn’t been a FT catcher in ages. Why Boston didn’t bother attempting to resign him years back. Were afraid his catching days were coming to an abrupt halt and that was what? 5-6y ago?
davidcoonce74
Martinez hasn’t caught a game in a couple years now.
donniebaseball
I was referring to the last few years to current day. I was not comparing him to other players who were in their primes 10 years ago like a-rod.
JFactor
Over the last three years, he is 35th in wRC
Yes, that includes 2015, but also includes 14 and 16
It’s a stretch to say he’s too 15
Maybe top 30ish, and with his age. It’s hard to rely on that
yankees500
Would masterson get a major league deal? There seems to be a lot of interest in him.
bigcheesegrilledontoast
If it was me (Washington Nationals) , I’d trade for JD Martinez giving up Giolito sign Jansen, take a chance on Hill limiting him to 150 innings next year so he doesn’t break down before the playoffs and trade for another starter say Garcia (Stl) for Turner, straight swap.
Chuxin
Wow that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
Wow you must be a cardinals fans if you’re advocating a Turner for Garcia trade. Even as a Dodgers fan Turner doesn’t get traded. And if he does it’s for Sale. SMH.
Dmalsch22
Trea turner? If so that’s the worst purposed deal I’ve ever heard of
Nick4747
Giolito for one year of jd to ? He must be a mets fan and want them to blow the team up.
mike.gordon34
And this is why you work a regular 9-5 instead of being an MLB GM. Giolito for Martinez? Turner for Garcia? Those aren’t even good trades in fantasy baseball.
cheese
Stick to your night shift miserable life and don’t propose those awful trades again as a cardinal fan i would love it but that is so stupid
dtcarroll1992
Trea Turner for Jaime Garcia? That is mind-blowingly crazy!
MatthewBaltimore23
Top 3 prospect in Giolito for a one year rental and a really controllable CF/SS in Turner for a #4 starter? That’s pretty dumb.
Outlaws12
Do it!
Trea Turner for Jaime Garcia.
Where do the Cardinals sign for that trade??
Let’s do it.
Lmao
Go Cards!
Big cheese grill- you should be the GM for the Nats for sure.
vvadnala
As a tigers fan, I’d absolutely be all over that. But there is no way the Nats would even think about that for one second.
One Fan
Wow big cheese you are giving up Trea Turner and Giolito for those bums! And you are gonna sign Rich Hill but your are such a genius that you will pay him but not let him pitch much during the year huh moron? Since that insures he does not get a blister in the playoffs? Well genius you first need to make the playoffs and after giving away Trea Turner and Giolito and not pitching Hill who is a bad signing no matter what you do not even make the playoffs this year and without Turner and Giolito the future would be crap as well! You do not actually know anything about baseball do you.
oebrr00
Harper for CC straight up
MB923
Yeah that’s surely going to happen lol
Outlaws12
lol
jkim319
My gosh another albatross contract. $36mm for 2 years at age 36 .. I hope they find some takers while these guys are still producing
Nick4747
They could get out of that contract easily if they wanted to all they’d have to do is call a red sox,Yankees,Texas,Houston the problem is they want a return for their guys that’s why they keep shopping j.d.
slider32
Don’t see CC getting traded, and Martinez won’t get you very much in return at this point. These trades are way out of line
sandman12
Justin Masterson seems like a logical Marlin signing. Edwin Jackson with health issues.
bradthebluefish
V-Mart and Big Papi are exactly why EE should get a big contract even at age 33. Elite hitting can stay with you for many years, especially when it is your only focus as a DH.
