Statistically speaking, last year Detroit Tiger third baseman Nick Castellanos was the worst defensive third baseman in baseball.
How does he rate this year?
The twenty-three-year-old has been the Tiger third sacker since spring training of last year. Originally drafted with the 44th overall pick in the 2010 MLB draft, Castellanos signed an eleventh hour, over-slot $3.45 million contract to become a Tiger.
Although he played shortstop in high school in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the Tigers viewed him as a third baseman and he started his minor league career in that capacity.
