Martinez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"One of the best in baseball at producing power to all fields, Martinez's cumulative 2016 numbers suffered as a result of a fluky injury, as he missed 40 Tigers team games after fracturing the radial neck of his right elbow when he crashed into the right-field wall in a June 16 game. Upon his return, he was every bit as productive a power source as he was before getting hurt, and in fact, he was somewhat more selective at the plate, resulting in a career-best 9.5 percent walk rate. Though Martinez's .378 BABIP last season might give pause, understand that he got there in part to the improved approach as well as one of the game's best hard-contact rates, meaning that any regression in batting average should be small. He's a premier power source, and should be treated as such in drafts, warranting as early as a fourth-round pick in Rotisserie, and perhaps a fifth or sixth in points-based scoring.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Tue Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":17.5,"playerRater15DAY":15.3,"positionRank":10}
