RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

Worth is a utility infielder who has seen limited action with the Tigers each of the past two seasons. He has hit .259 with two homers and 11 RBI in 143 career at-bats. Never known for his bat, Worth’s primary value to the Tigers is with the leather. He’s capable of playing second base, third base or shortstop. Given the Tigers' lack of quality options at second and third base, Worth could see an expanded role this year, but his lack of productivity with the lumber will keep him off most fantasy radars.

2011

Worth, 25, received a prolonged look with Detroit mid-season after a rash of injuries hit the squad. He hit .255 with two home runs and eight RBI in 106 at-bats while seeing action at second base, third base and shortstop. The Tigers have those three spots filled by other options heading into spring training, but Worth could earn a roster spot as a utility infielder. He has a solid enough glove to earn a living at the major league level, but Worth's light-hitting ways will limit his fantasy value.
