Victor Martinez was introduced as the newest member of the Tigers on Friday and he admitted that fellow Venezuelan Miguel Cabrera made some recruiting calls. "He did make a few phone calls, and I expressed to him the desire that I wanted to make it happen," Martinez said on a conference call. "It is a great organization." Detroit signed Martinez to a four-year, $50 million contract. Martinez hit .302 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs in 127 games with Boston last season.
