You will see Iglesias in many of the videos with Miggy and Vmart. He obviously is well liked by them. McCann on the other hand was a rookie that doesn't seem to really have the same relationship with the vets.

That probably has nothing to do with the fact that McCann isn't Mexican.

BP's PECOTA projections are the best available to the public.

.268/.315/.347

That would be an OPS regression of 55 points.
I doubt he drops off like that.. but I would be perfectly happy with those numbers from a 9 hole hitter that plays above average defense at SS.

I would agree if you at least saw him working out with Kinsler or Castellanos.. but you don't...

The rest of the Tigers, JD, Iglesias, Miggy, Vmart, Castellanos, all of them have been working out down here in Miami. heck.. I even saw Rajai Davis down here a few weeks back... I have never seen a single picture of McCann working out with the rest of the team.

Not too worried about team chemistry. Ausmus can handle it. He is about as white bread as they come.

Iglesias at SS > McCann at C... its a fact. I like McCann but he in no way is a top level catcher right now. Iglesias is an All Star SS that may very well be the best defender at the position in the AL.
Hard to be better when you don't play.

Just sayin'.....

More time on the DL than on the Tigers active roster....
