Justin Rogers of MLive.com expects Brennan Boesch to benefit the most from Prince Fielder’s presence in the Tigers’ lineup this season.
Manager Jim Leyland said Thursday that he’s planning on using Boesch in front of Fielder and Miguel Cabrera, meaning he could see some of the best offerings of any player in baseball. Rogers notes that Leyland used 127 different lineup combinations in 2011 and that his spot in the order is far from guaranteed. However, if he can replicate the production he had hitting in front of Cabrera last year, Boesch is primed for a monster season.
