Long ago, when J.D. Martinez came to Detroit, he enrolled in Miguel Cabrera’s school of hitting. As Miggy’s career has come to a close, the “book of hitting” has been passed on to Martinez. No current player could teach and spill hitting knowledge like J.D. can. Naturally, with this elite wealth of knowledge comes plus performance. For me, his on-field production is really just a bonus. The way I see it, what he provides in the clubhouse and the opportunity to learn from him presented to the young core is priceless. These intangibles make any contract worth it.
