Hunter, who has played 1,523 games in center field, was a Gold Glove center fielder from 2001-09.
Hunter, who has been heavily used in right field since 2010, is batting .256 (11 for 43) with two doubles and six RBI in nine May games. He hit .370 in 23 April games.

| Tigers to monitor hot Torii Hunter |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/27/13) Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter hit safely for the 18th time in 21 games on Saturday against the Braves. He went 1 for 4 in a 7-4 win.
Before the contest, manager Jim Leyland told MLB.com that he will watch the workload of the 37-year-old early in the year.
Hunter is batting .380 with one homer and 11 RBI.
"I have to watch him," Leyland said, "but he's really doing well. And we did have back-to-back days off [with the rainout Tuesday], so that helps. But I have to watch him. It's not easy in the cold weather for anybody, let alone one of our elder statesmen. I have to watch him and not get greedy."

| Just when Torii Hunter seemed to find his niche in Los Angeles, batting between Mike Trout and Albert Pujols in a loaded Angels lineup, he left for Detroit this offseason, where he'll likely have the good fortune of batting in front of Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. OK, so maybe he doesn't lose so much with the move. At age 37, he seems to need the lineup support. Prior to earning that coveted second spot in the Angels lineup on June 8, he hit .238 in 40 games. From that point forward, though, he hit .340 in 100 games, giving him a season batting average over .300 for the first time in his career. Because he's no longer the power or speed threat he once was, Hunter will have to perform at a similar clip in 2013 to remain an advisable option in standard mixed leagues. It seems far-fetched given his track record and the fact he struck out nearly 100 times more than he walked last year, but with Cabrera and Fielder batting behind him, you never know. If nothing else, you can count on Hunter to play every day, so even if he doesn't excite you in mixed leagues anymore, he won't go for especially cheap in AL-only formats. (Updated 12/3/12) |
