24. Nicholas Castellanos- Detroit Tigers

2018 stats- .298/.354/.500 23 homers 89 RBI

2019 steamer- .276/.339/.479 25 homers 89 RBI

Castellanos was the subject of trade speculation all off-season as the Detroit Tigers continue their rebuilding process. Castellanos will turn 27 in March and is going into his contract season. For a team like the Tigers, that’s the kind of asset they will look to move. By the time July 31 comes and goes, it wouldn’t be surprising if Castellanos is playing elsewhere. Something to keep in mind when you draft him on your fantasy baseball team this year.

Over the past three seasons, Castellanos ranks 14th in RBI among all outfielders, driving in more runs than guys like Andrew McCutchen, Marwin Gonzalez, and Ryan Braun. He’s also 14th in batting average and slugging. He ranks in the top 30 in homers, runs, and WRC+.

Castellanos is a run producer, and one of the better ones at that, even on a team that doesn’t have a ton in terms of a supporting cast. 25 homers with 90 RBI is something that you should expect when you draft him as probably your second outfielder on your fantasy baseball squad for the upcoming season.
