Nick Castellanos
With all the craziness in the world, including what's happening in Washington, this certainly falls under the category of First World problems.
Chris McCosky of The Detroit News writes:
Who’s going to hit second in the Detroit Tigers’ batting order?
The question isn’t likely to be answered until later this spring, but a day after he ruled out Justin Upton as a candidate, Ausmus threw Nick Castellanos into the mix.
“Nick is a possibility, and quite frankly Nick wants to hit there,” Ausmus said. “Nick and I talked about it at TigerFest. I am glad he wants to hit second. Ideally he would get on base more. But if he hits second he can’t go up there trying to walk.
“He can’t change the style of hitter he is. He just has to hit. He has to be Nick Castellanos. Maybe tighten up on the balls you are swinging at and don’t leave the (strike) zone so much. But you don’t try to walk. Teams tried to do that early in the Moneyball era. You can’t try to walk.”
