Detroit — The Tigers had to reshuffle the deck at the catcher position Wednesday, and the fallout could mean a significant opportunity for Livonia resident and Dearborn Divine Child product Eric Haase.
“He’s never gotten at-bats at the major league level that his minor league track record has warranted,” manager AJ Hinch said before the game. “So now that this opportunity has opened up it’s going to be fun to watch him grab a hold of it and see what he can do.”
That, of course, is music to Haase’s ears, who in parts of three big league seasons, two with the Indians, has amassed all of 53 plate appearances.
