LAKELAND, Fla. – Yes, Ron Gardenhire said, it could be his regular starting lineup.
“I’ll agree with that,” he said after Sunday afternoon’s Grapefruit League game against the Braves, “It could be our lineup.”
The starting nine batting order that day: Leonys Martin; Jose Iglesias; Miguel Cabrera; Nick Castellanos; Victor Martinez; James McCann; Jeimer Candelario; Mikie Mahtook and Dixon Machado.
Nearing the midway point of spring training, the Detroit Tigers manager is not committing to any one particular batting order.
