Prospect to watch: Christin Stewart, OF. Stewart, 25, has consistent­ly hit 866668-4437; for power and gotten on base since he was drafted 34th overall in 2015, a pattern that got him to Detroit for a September debut. Now, he’ll bat in the middle of the lineup on a rebuilding club and likely start in left field. Stewart’s future might be at DH, but his career .363 on-base percentage will play there. He has 87 doubles and a career .865 on-base plus slugging percentage in 460 minor league games.
