3 Questions: Detroit Tigers

Determined to jump back into things in 2011 after dropping from first to third in 2010, the Tigers have gone out and spent a ton of money in the last couple months.  They've added while the Twins have subtracted.  But, of course, the White Sox are out there too.

1. What did they buy with all that money?
They've resigned Magglio Ordonez, Jhonny Peralta and Brandon Inge to pretty nice deals, but this is about the new guys, two players to whom they've committed $66.5 million dollars (not all this year, though, that would be a record).

Victor Martinez, who just turned 32 before Christmas, signed a deal that will pay him either $12 or $13 million for each of the next four years.  He's been an eerily consistent, very good hitter over his last six healthy seasons, posting wRC+es of 121, 129, 126, 130, 130, and 126.  And for at least the next year or two, there's no reason to expect him not to just keep doing that.
