Projecting the Detroit Tigers 2022 Opening Day starting lineup

Detroit Tigers Opening Day Grant Witherspoon Opening Day Javier Baez Eric Haase Riley Greene Spencer Torkelson 2023 MLB Mock Draft Brendan White Nick Maton Max Clark Scott Harris Colt Keith Max Clark Andrew Vasquez lineup for Miguel Cabrera's final game

With the Tigers recently signing free agent SS Javier Baez to a 6-year, $140 million deal so we thought it would be fun to take a stab at what the 2022 Opening Day lineup will look like.

This is a fluid situation but here is how I think the lineup would look if Tigers manager AJ Hinch had to put it together today.

1. Akil Baddoo – LF

2. Jonathan Schoop – 1B

3. Miguel Cabrera – DH

4. Javier Báez , SS

5. Jeimer Candelario, 3B

6. Robbie Grossman, RF

7. Isaac Paredes, 2B

8. Tucker Barnhart, C

9. Victor Reyes, CF

*Note: I could see Miggy finally getting moved out of the three-hole in favor of Candelario or Grossman but for now, I am leaving him there.
