In case you haven’t noticed, the Detroit Tigers have yet to add a bona fide left fielder. The Cameron Maybin acquisition was an especially shrewd one, but Maybin is best suited in center field. The last time the outfielder played in left field was in 2007 when he was a rookie with the Tigers and Miguel Cabrera was still a member of the then-Florida Marlins.
In other words, he may not be the answer in left field. Anthony Gose and Tyler Collins are the other internal options to fill the positon, but Gose has only played 41 games at the position while Collins may not be ready for a full-time role.
