The Tigers were thrilled to sign Torii Hunter early in the offseason, but there are statistics that indicate his resurgent 2012 effort may not leak into 2013.

Hunter produced a career-high 5.5 Wins Above Replacement last season in his age 36 season.

However, he struck out in 23 percent of his plate appearances last season -- a career-high.

He also had the lowest walk rate of his career (seven percent of PAs).
