When the Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Robbie Grossman to a two-year, $10 million contract this offseason, manager AJ Hinch asked him to evolve into a lineup and clubhouse leader.
Grossman, 31, is exceeding those requests in May.
The Tigers (14-25) have won six of their past 10 games. Grossman s leadership and approach at the plate is key to the offensive improvements. The team is hitting .288 in those 10 contests, after a brutal 17-game stretch including 15 losses and a .173 batting average from April 15 through May 2. He s doing great with it, and I expected nothing less out of him when we signed him, that he was going to be a presence and an impactful guy by how he works, Hinch said before Sunday s game with the Cubs. If he didn t say one word, how he works and how he conducts his day-to-day was going to be noticed by the rest of the players.
