Tigers' J.D. Martinez: Could bat second

Martinez is a candidate to bat second this season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Martinez batted second some last season, but he got most of his at-bats in the No. 5 hole. If he bats second, his RBI potential will go down, but he could score more runs in front of guys like Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Justin Upton and Nick Castellanos.
