Matt Treanor (hip) nearing full strength
Matt Treanor - C - Detroit Tigers
Nov. 23, 2009 - 11:00 PM ET
Matt Treanor (hip) is almost ready to begin playing winter ball.
Treanor underwent surgery on his right hip in May and missed most of the 2009 season before being released from the Tigers in early November. He'll try to impress teams with his play in the Dominican Republic this winter and will likely seek a backup catching role for the 2010 season. The 33-year-old has a .232/.318/.311 career batting line in 736 major league at-bats.
