| Nick Castellanos going through 'learning experience' |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/6/13) Tigers outfield prospect Nick Castellanos has endured some growing pains at Triple-A Toledo. The highly touted prospect is batting .232 with three home runs and 10 RBI through 31 games.
"It's a learning experience," Castellanos said, per MLB.com, "the highest competition I've played against. The game's a little bit faster. I feel like I'm making really good strides in the outfield. Just trying to find a little bit more consistency at the plate. I'll have one good game where I'll feel great, then I'll have like two games where I can't find it. It's just an adjustment period right now."
Toledo manager Phil Nevin isn't concerned about Castellanos' slow start and he's been happy with his transition to the outfield, which was the more pressing concern at the beginning of the year. Castellanos is considered the Tigers' top prospect by MLB.com.
"The last two weeks, his outfield play has been exceptional," Nevin said. "Gene Roof has done a heckuva lot of things with him. He's been working his tail off. Every day, he's out there. He asks to come out early. He asks to do extra things. I'm very proud of the strides he's made out there."

| Nick Castellanos' bat heating up |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (4/27/13) Tigers top prospect Nick Castellanos has made an adjustment to Triple-A pitching, MLB.com reports Saturday.
Castellanos went 3 for 5 on Friday at Durham and is now 8 for 20 for the week with two three-hit games. He's raised his average from .225 to .264. Castellanos also has homered in three of his last four games after going homerless in his first 18 games.

| Nick Castellanos getting comfortable in LF |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (4/10/13) Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos said he's getting more comfortable with every day he plays in left field for Triple-A Toledo, according to MLive.com.
"It's a process, but every day's getting better," Castellanos said. "I've had some really good reads and made some good plays already this season, so every day I'm just trying to get better."
Castellanos is batting .280 (7 for 25) with two doubles, two RBI and seven strikeouts in six games.

| Nick Castellanos off to slow start |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (4/8/13) Tigers outfield prospect Nick Castellanos is having a quiet start to the season at Triple-A Toledo. Castellanos did manage his first multi-hit game of the season Sunday, but he's batting just .278 (5 for 18) through four games.
He has no home runs and just one RBI, while adding one run and two doubles. Castellanos, who is considered a top-25 prospect by Baseball America (No. 21) and MLB.com (No. 21), also has six strikeouts and yet to draw a walk.

| Nick Castellanos leaves lasting impression |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (3/19/13) The Tigers reassigned their top prospect, Nick Castellanos, to minor-league camp on Tuesday, but not before heaping some praise on the promising 21-year-old. Castellanos, who was not considered a candidate to crack the opening day roster because of Detroit's crowded lineup, hit .360 this spring with a homer and six RBI. He also posted a .484 on-base percentage over 15 Grapefruit League games.
"They told me I made a good impression. I'm happy about that," he told reporters Tuesday. "They just want me to keep working in the outfield, but they liked the way I looked."
Castellanos will also transition from the infield to left field at Triple-A Toledo this season as the fast riser begins his third professional campaign. He carried a .316 average with 32 doubles and 57 RBI over Class A and Double-A during the 2012 season.

| Despite being the third-youngest player there, Nick Castellanos made quick work of the Florida State League last year, batting .405 in 55 games to earn a promotion to Double-A Erie in June. After he won Futures Game MVP in July, he might have just kept moving up ladder if he didn't play third base, which a certain Miguel Cabrera happened to occupy in the majors. Though general manager Dave Dombrowski wasn't shy about his praise for Castellanos' bat, the 21-year-old's move to right field came just a little too late for him to reach the majors in 2012. Now that he's gotten some work there, he'll pretty much determine his own timetable. So does that mean we're all just counting down the days until Castellanos is starting in the outfield for the Tigers? Not exactly. See, for all the praise heaped on him both inside and out of the organization, Castellanos had kind of a bumpy transition to Double-A last year, hitting .264 with a .678 OPS and a 76-to-14 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His power is still developing, and his plate discipline might never be better than average. If the Tigers force the issue with him, which they seem inclined to do, he might disappoint in Fantasy. Still, given his projected arrival, Castellanos is worth drafting in AL-only leagues, and he's obviously a must-own in long-term keeper formats. (Updated 1/4/13) |
