Detroit Tigers: Time to Shuffle the Batting Order?

From the highs of an eight-game winning streak to being swept by the mediocre Kansas City Royals, it is difficult to predict what the Detroit Tigers are going to do on a daily basis.

As we’ve seen this season, the Tigers are who they are – injuries, and all – but, it might be time to make a change in the batting order.

For the majority of the season, typical batting order has been:

  1. Centerfielder or Jose Iglesias
  2. Miguel Cabrera
  3. Victor Martinez
  4. Third baseman
  5. Catcher
  6. Iglesias or Bench player

With the current injuries, weakness in the lineup has been exposed.
