The Detroit Tigers will need to address the first base position for 2021 and Santana is one of a few viable options for the hole
On-base ability is something that the Detroit Tigers have lacked in recent years. The ability to get on base is not only important because it reduces the number of outs made by a particular player, but a sound approach is something that figures to translate year-to-year as it does not rely on luck on balls in play.
