The Detroit Tigers have a hole at first base. Miguel Cabrera‘s season ending injury forced the Tigers to start converted catcher John Hicks over there. As a first baseman this year, Hicks has slashed a pedestrian .266/.321/.404 with six home runs. He’s a fine fill-in for now, but the Tigers have an opportunity to add a veteran who will give them something they desperately need this season: left-handed hitting.
Adam Lind was fantastic in a part-time role for the Nationals last season. The veteran slugger slashed .303/.362/.513 with 14 home runs and a 122 wRC+, primarily facing right-handed pitching.
