Castellanos announces Tigers pick: his brother

DETROIT -- The Tigers have a history of making Draft picks within the family as the rounds pile up. Rarely, however, does a family member have a chance to announce the pick.

When Detroit used its 25th-round selection on Nova Southeastern University right-hander Ryan Castellanos, it decided to bring his brother into the Draft room to make the call himself. Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos took a break from his preparations for Wednesday night's game against the Cubs to break the news.

It was a cool moment for a family that already has built a lot of Tigers ties.
