Detroit Tigers' Harold Castro keeps on hitting. So how will he fit in this lineup?

A couple of weeks ago, when Miguel Cabrera was tuning up for summer camp at a local batting cage, he brought a Detroit Tigers teammate with him: Harold Castro.

This was likely not by accident: Castro, who hit .291 as a rookie last season, can play. He is a solid contact hitter who works counts and always seems to do something right.

And Castro has continued progressing in the first week of intrasquad games, seemingly getting on base every time he’s at the plate.
