Detroit Tigers' Jim Leyland: Whether Victor Martinez will be same hitter in 2013 is 'question of the day'.
from Mlive

Not surprisingly, Dombrowski said the Tigers see Martinez as a full-time designated hitter who could fill in on occasion at first base.

"We do not look at him as a catcher at this point," Dombrowski said. "We look at him as a DH, maybe play some first base if you give Prince a day off and decide to DH him, which doesn't happen very often. He can do that."
 
November 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1937 - American League batting champ Charlie Gehringer of the Detroit Tigers is named Most Valuable Player, receiving 78 out of a possible 80 points. The New York Yankees' Joe DiMaggio is a close second, four points behind, while Gehringer's teammate Hank Greenberg, who had 183 RBI, is a distant third. Gehringer also becomes the third Detroit player in four years to be named MVP.

1964 - CBS becomes the first corporate owner of a major league team, buying eighty percent of the New York Yankees for $11,200,000.

1999 - In a ten-player megatrade, the Texas Rangers send outfielder Juan Gonzalez, pitcher Danny Patterson and catcher Gregg Zaun to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Ps Justin Thompson, Alan Webb and Francisco Cordero, OF Gabe Kapler, C Bill Haselman, and infielder Frank Catalanotto.
