Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said Haase is a "catcher first," though he will play some at first base and in left field, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers added Tucker Barnhart in the offseason to play behind the plate, so there was some thought that Haase would primarily play elsewhere with Barnhart taking over as the No. 1 catcher. However, Hinch's comments suggest the two could split duties more evenly. Haase appeared in 98 games last season and popped 22 home runs, and he should maintain decent fantasy value if his playing time looks similar in 2022.
