Tigers' Jose Iglesias: Looking like No. 2 hitter

Iglesias has primarily batted second this spring and could find himself there when the regular season begins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The 28-year-old has a career .316 on-base percentage and was at just .288 last season, so he's perhaps not a great fit for the top of a lineup. But Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire is generally fairly traditional in his approach, valuing players who can bunt runners over and put the ball in play most at-bats at No. 2. Iglesias usually batted at the bottom of the order in 2017, but with Ian Kinsler now suiting up for the Angels, the top of Detroit's lineup has an opening. Iglesias doesn't offer a ton in fantasy, but he could be a moderate source of runs and steals if he spends most of his time hitting in front of Miguel Cabrera.
