Jeimer Candelario Collects Five Hits Sunday
6 years agoDetroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had four singles and a double out of the leadoff spot on Sunday to set the tone for a Tigers victory. He also contributed two RBI for the visiting Tigers. Candelario isn't exactly an OBP machine, but he did lead the league in pitches per at-bat last year, so he is likely to see lots of time in the first spot in the order going forward. He's also shown some power in the past (22 home runs a year ago), so he definitely holds some value in deeper mixed leagues.
