Francisco Martinez: Outrighted Friday
OFDetroit Tigers  
May 23, 2014
ANALYSIS
Martinez has hit the proverbial wall at Double-A, having spent parts of four seasons at that level, and it seems the Tigers have lost whatever faith they had left in the 23-year-old. He's hit just .228/.282/.298 with three steals in 37 games with Lake Erie so far this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2012
Following Nick Franklin’s ascent through the Mariners’ farm system, Martinez was deemed expendable and moved to his original team. While he was highly touted by the Tigers’ brass in his previous stint with the team, Martinez’s status as a legitimate big league prospect has taken a hit the past few seasons. He split his 2013 campaign between Double-A Jackson and High-A Lakeland, hitting .268/.316/.341 with three homers and 33 RBI in 414 at-bats. His plate discipline remained a problem area, as Martinez racked up 98 strikeouts and just 27 walks. Entering his age-23 season, Martinez will have to start producing at the higher levels of the minor leagues to work his way back onto the radar in deep keeper leagues that value prospects.
Martinez was the big prize in last season's Doug Fister trade with Detroit. Martinez hit .310 after the trade at Double-A Jackson with an .807 OPS. Overall, he walked 23 times compared to 104 strikeouts as his plate discipline needs work. Just 21, he's likely headed back to Jackson to begin the 2012 season.
