Tigers manager Jim Leyland says that catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez is "a perfect fit" for the team. Detroit gave Martinez a four-year, $50 million. "We targeted Martinez very high on our list because he is a perfect fit for our club," Leyland said. "I've had the utmost respect for him as an opponent. He's one of the better hitters in the league -- a smart hitter, a patient hitter. And I'm thrilled to death we completed the deal for him for many reasons. "He's going to catch and not be a total DH. And he can play first base to give Miguel (Cabrera) a night off to DH. And this guy is one of the more professional hitters in baseball."
