Kinsler is the current frontrunner to lead off for the Tigers against right-handed pitching, the Detroit News reports.With Rajai Davis positioned to play against left-handed starters, Kinsler would likely move into the No. 2 hole against southpaws. After posting a .307 OBP last season, Kinsler will need to show better plate discipline (29 walks in 726 plate appearances in 2014) in order to remain a viable option atop the lineup in Detroit.
