Detroit Tigers’ J.D. Martinez has become team’s Jose Bautista

When J.D. Martinez broke out last season, many people, including myself, were skeptical that he could maintain his level of play in 2015. Detroit Tigers fans have watched too many of their teams fall short of a World Series Championship, even when they were the best team and too many players show spurts of great play, followed by falling into the pit from the movie 300. Some Tigers fans expected J.D. Martinez to be the latest flash in the pan, but we were wrong as of right now: J.D. Martinez has become the Detroit Tigers’ Jose Bautista.
