John Hicks Is Detroit's Hottest Hitter
7 years agoWith veteran slugger Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list, the Detroit Tigers have turned to John Hicks to provide some pop in the batting order. And since the start of May, he has delivered. In 20 May at bats, Hicks is slashing .450/.500/.700. His Sunday performance didn't hurt, as he homered and drove in a pair against the Royals. He isn't likely to keep this up long-term, but he also doesn't have to. If he can stay hot for Cabrera's time on the shelf, he's a more-than-serviceable fantasy player to ride while it lasts.
