If it weren't for Victor Martinez, Ian Kinsler wouldn't be one of the reserves for the AL All Star Team. So, thankfully, V-Mart was nice enough to get injured right before the game, and give the impressive infielder another go.
This is Ian's first All Star game as a member of the Tigers. Sources say he swapped to Detroit from Arlington because he felt like winning in October for a change.
Prince Fielder was traded to Texas in the deal that sent Kinsler to Detroit, and his season has been regarded as a flop so far. However, Fielder says he'll be back on his feet again in no time, and right back in line at the local Subway Sandwich Shop.
Ian Kinsler looks to FINALLY get a World Series ring with the Tigers this year. Unfortunately, the Oakland Athletics have a bit of a problem with this.
Coming Tomorrow- This closer has overcome a line drive to the face to make yet another All Star team.
I don't think that's Ian Kinsler. It looks like JD Martinez. I only point this out because Kinsler was such a jerk when he left Texas.
ReplyDeleteyep, JD Martinez.
