DUI lawyers are stopping to catch their breaths. First came the news of a Wikipedia blackout and then of Victor Martinez’s injury that looks grave enough to keep him out of action for the rest of the year. The mood has also turned sour in the Detroit Tigers camp as their prized hitter sustained a torn ACL in his left knee.

A Leader

Victor Martinez, their no. 5 hitter, has the second best OPS in the team and has won many games for the Tigers. DUI lawyers are now wondering who will replace Martinez. Not only can Martinez swing the bat with power and skill, he is a clubhouse leader and that is hard to replace.

Is There a Victor Martinez Replacement?

Although Martinez is scheduled for a medical evaluation soon, the Tigers camp is a morose lot. They are more or less certain that their hitter will have to undergo surgery, which means he will be out of the game for the entire season. The Tigers are now in quite a pickle – how to plug in the hole in their line-up caused by Victor Martinez’s injury.

A Solid Replacement

DUI lawyers feel that the Tigers are hardly likely to consider Don Kelly, Gerald Laird, and Alex Avila for the position. Carlos Pena seems a likely choice, according to them and other Tigers fans. In fact, a Ryan Raburn/Carlos Pena offense combination is looming large in the horizon and if that be so, it will augur well for the Tigers. With walk rates that are much above the average, sporting good power numbers, and the possibility that together they will strike out only about 25% of the time, the Raburn/Penna combination has raised the hopes for Tigers’fans. Perhaps Martinez’s loss can be somewhat salvageable.
