Contenders that will regret not upgrading their weakest positions

The great Harry Caray once said that it's the fans who need spring training. Wake us from our winter slumbers with the reminder that baseball is around the corner.

Games are already under way in Arizona and Florida, so something to look at during this longer-than-usual spring training is what happens at some key positions. With help from our friends at FanGraphs, I've selected 10 potential weak spots on eight playoff contenders.

Detroit Tigers: center field (projected 0.5 WAR, 30th in majors)

Tigers in CF since 2007 (16.1 wins above average): The Tigers had excellent production from Curtis Granderson and a solid player in Austin Jackson.
