Arlington, Texas — Nick Castellanos has made a marked defensive improvement at third base this season. He’s gone from a league-worst, minus-30 in defensive runs saved last year to minus-10 this season.
Still far from a Gold Glove candidate, he’ll be the first to tell you that, but imagine the predicament the Tigers would be in had he not made the gains he’s made this season.
Where do you play Castellanos if not at third?
Nobody is moving Miguel Cabrera off of first base for at least another three years, barring more injuries, and designated hitter Victor Martinez has three years left on his deal.
