Detroit Tigers: It remains to be seen if Justin Upton opts out of his contract, if he does, here are some potential replacements

Mikie Mahtook

Mahtook has established himself in center field for the Detroit Tigers, but could make the shift to left field if JaCoby Jones takes over in center.

Jones struggled with strikeouts earlier in the season, resulting in a trip to Triple-A Toledo.

However, the young centerfielder has flashed better plate discipline in his return to Detroit.

If Jones can make contact more consistently, he has a chance to make a serious impact in the Majors.

The former Pittsburgh farmhand already looks up to the task of adding value on the base paths and in the field.

In limited playing time, Jones has notched a 0.2 BsR. He’s also sporting a 29.2 UZR/150 and a DRS of six.

Should Jones stay in center field, where his defense plays well, Mahtook could slide over to left field.

Christin Stewart

Christin Stewart may not make it to the Major Leagues this season, but a debut next season is certainly a possibility.

Likely to occupy spot in the middle of the Tigers lineup for the better part of the next decade, Stewart shows power from the left-handed side and draws a ton of walks.

Currently with Double-A Erie, the 23-year-old has turned in a 129 wRC+, a .373 wOBA, a .256 ISO, 26 home runs and 82 RBI in 494 plate appearances.

A corner outfielder by trade, Stewart has also logged a .258 batting average, a .340 on-base percentage and a .514 slugging percentage.
