Detroit Tigers fans have entered the dog days of spring training, but A.J. Hinch may have provided a clue into the decision surrounding Kevin McGonigle. McGonigle's chances of making the Tigers' Opening Day roster have been one of the main storylines of spring training, and Sunday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays may have provided a clue.
The Tigers played to a 4-4 tie against the defending American League champions, but the focus was on how Hinch constructed the lineup. It was an order that could very well be a preview of the Opening Day lineup if McGonigle does break camp with the team.
