| Omar Infante to remain at top of order |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) Tigers second baseman Omar Infante will continue to hit leadoff against left-handed pitching, according to mlive.com.
Manager Jim Leyland said the move was "a no-brainer." Leyland admitted that the move would be temporary, and that Austin Jackson would remain in the spot once he returned. While he's happy with Infante's performance, Leyland doesn't think he's the ideal long-term leadoff hitter.
"He's not an ideal leadoff guy. He doesn't walk much, but he hits pretty good. Omar can hit anywhere. Omar just comes ready to play every day and whatever you ask him to do, he does," Leyland said.
Infante is hitting .313/.344/.444 in 144 at-bats.

| Omar Infante has two hits in leadoff spot |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/20/13) With Austin Jackson hurt and Andy Dirks out of the lineup, Tigers second baseman Omar Infante took over the leadoff spot Sunday against the Rangers.
"When you lead him off, you're leading him off because he's your only guy in that situation," manager Jim Leyland told MLB.com. "Normally, I wouldn't have him leading off but, with the situation we're in, if you look at the lineup, who else would you lead off? ... The only other guy you'd think about is [Avisail] Garcia, and I don't want to do that."
Infante finished 2 for 5 with two runs scored in an 11-8 defeat. He is hitting .313 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 144 at-bats.

(5/15/13) Tigers second baseman Omar Infante managed one hit Wednesday during a two-run loss to Houston. Infante went 1 for 4 in the game with a walk.
The leadoff hitter was also picked off at first base by catcher Carlos Corporan. He's recorded a walk in three straight games and is batting .318.
Infante has recorded five multiple-hit games in his last 10 contests and has raised his batting average from .303 over that stretch.

| Omar Infante over .300 again |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/9/13) Tigers infielder Omar Infante went 3 for 4 Thursday against the Nationals, pushing his batting average back over .300. He scored one run along with his three singles in a 5-4 loss.
Infante, who was batting just .241 after his first 14 games, is now hitting .362 in 14 games since, to raise his batting average to .304. He has three home runs, all within his last 14 games, while driving in 11 runs and scoring 17.

| Omar Infante in middle of hot streak |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/7/13) Tigers second baseman Omar Infante has been hot over his last 12 games.
Infante has hit safely in 11 of those games, and has 18 hits over that period. All three of Infante's home runs have come during that span. Infante has been able to raise his slash line to .298/.327/.433 during this stretch.

| The Tigers' July deal with the Marlins is generally known as the "Anibal Sanchez trade", but Omar Infante made the trip from Miami to Detroit in that deal as well. Then again, Infante didn't do much to distinguish himself once he got to the Motor City. With the Marlins, he put himself on pace to hit more than 40 doubles, but in 64 games with the Tigers, he hit only seven, while turning in a .257 batting average. Infante reverted to being more of a ground ball hitter, just as he had been over the previous two seasons. Perhaps the change had nothing to do with the move, and Infante's power burst was just one of those odd mid-career aberrations. Fantasy owners would be best off to trust Infante's larger body of work, which shows him to be a mediocre offensive player, even though he has the ability to hit for average. Even among a weak crop of second basemen, at best, Infante merits a late-round pick in mixed league drafts. (Updated 12/4/12) |
