Arlington, Texas — What to make of Jeimer Candelario’s offensive production to this point this season?
You could argue he’s been one of the Tigers’ most consistent offensive players. He went into play Monday hitting .265, with a .347 on-base percentage and a 101 OPS-plus. His .716 OPS is third best on the team.
You could also argue that he's been one of the least productive.
He plays third base and hits either at the top or in the middle of manager AJ Hinch’s lineup. Candelario has fewer home runs (four) and RBIs (23) than Willi Castro.
