Fantasy Impact
The Tigers are looking to showcase Martin's speed on the bases this year, which is something that the Tigers have lacked in the past. In his career, Martin has stolen more than 24 bases three separate times. Martin should be considered a depth player, but he is one to watch with his ability to run the bases.
