Fans might want to tune in for this one, because the Tigers are rolling out a lineup packed with projected starters.
- Akil Baddoo, LF
- Robbie Grossman, RF
- Javier Baez, SS
- Jeimer Candelario, 3B
- Miguel Cabrera, DH
- Riley Greene, CF
- Spencer Torkelson, 1B
- Turker Barnhart, C
- Willi Castro, 2B
Other than Castro starting over Jonathan Schoop at second base, there’s a reasonable chance every player in this lineup will be on A.J. Hinch’s card on Opening Day.
Both top prospects -- Greene and Torkelson -- and both offensive newcomers -- Baez and Barnhart -- are starting. Hinch is also showing the first sign of a willingness to move Cabrera down in the order.
New ace Eduardo Rodriguez -- already announced as the Opening Day starter -- will take the mound for Detroit against Pittsburgh right-hander Wil Crowe.
