V-Mart (knee) pleased with spring debut
Victor Martinez - C - Detroit Tigers
Feb. 22, 2013 - 4:50 PM ET

Victor Martinez (knee) felt good after making his Grapefruit League debut Friday against the Braves.

In his first game action since knee surgery last year, V-Mart served as the DH and went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch. "Honestly, I'm not really thinking about the knee," said Martinez. "I'm just letting the fans know, I'm not thinking about it. I come to spring training now like I used to be: just getting ready to get to the season." Projected to be the Tigers' No. 5 hitter this season, Martinez could prove to be a real bargain in fantasy leagues where he still qualifies at the catcher position.
