LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers second baseman César Hernández should feel good about his chances of making the Opening Day roster.
It's not official, but the 32-year-old switch-hitter has seemingly earned his way because of his track record at the highest level and his consistent performance in spring training. He has played 1,186 games across 10 MLB seasons.
"I feel at ease given that I know I've done the job that I've been requested to do," Hernández said. "At the end of the day, it's not my decision. It's somebody else's decision. I have to wait, but I feel comfortable right now with where I'm at.
