All 9 for Romine? Veteran can play anywhere
Making his first start in right field this season, Statcast measures Andrew Romine's impressive four-star catchNEW YORK -- Andrew Romine was the Tigers' starting shortstop Wednesday afternoon in place of the injured Jose Iglesias. He was the starting right fielder Tuesday night, a position where he has been platooning since the J.D. Martinez trade. Romine also remains a late-inning replacement at third and first base, and he finished out a game last week as the pitcher. The only position he hasn't played -- this season or in his career -- is catcher.
Which begs the question: With Detroit out of contention, could Romine play all nine positions in a game as a cap to this season?
