Tigers' Nicholas Castellanos bristles at questions about defense

DETROIT -- It would have been a very difficult, perhaps even impossible play for a seasoned right fielder.

But Nicholas Castellanos is not a seasoned right fielder.

And when he chased a line drive to the wall and then seemed to duck at the last moment as the ball went over his head....well, it looked strange.

So Castellanos was asked after the game Friday night about that play in the first inning. And he did not enjoy the line of questioning about something he did not consider worthy of discussion.

"I think it's funny in 40-degree weather I get a line drive off the wall that's a double and I get a bunch of microphones in my face," he said.
