Tigers' Mikie Mahtook: Traded to Tigers

Mahtook was traded to the Tigers on Wednesday for a player to be named later or cash.

Analysis:

A lefty-mashing platoon bat, Mahtook figures to start in center field against southpaws, while Tyler Collins appears to have the edge to start against righties. Mahtook has a career .276/.322/.537 slash line with nine home runs in 144 career plate appearances against lefties.
