Castellanos deserving of minors promotion: Tigers third base prospect Nick Castellanos is probably deserving of a promotion in the minors with the start he has put together at Class A Lakeland. Through 44 games, the 2010 supplemental first-round pick is batting .413 with a .474 on-base percentage, .552 slugging percentage and 1.027 OPS. He also has two homers, two triples, 14 doubles, 27 RBI, 28 runs and three stolen bases. (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
About the only gripe you can have with Castellanos is his lack of home run power. He should develop more over time, but the scouts aren't sure if he will have much more than moderate home run power. He is already a great doubles hitter and can hit to all fields. He's even managed to cut down on his strikeout rate in 2012. If Castellanos keeps tearing up minor-league pitching, then he has a chance to move fast. However, the Tigers are set a third base right now with Miguel Cabrera, so there's no need to rush Castellanos and the Tigers probably won't move him from third base to get him to the majors quicker. He remains just a long-term keeper. (Updated 05/24/2012).
