Nick Castellanos (DET, 3B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues

OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Castellanos is absolutely on fire right now. The third baseman for the Tigers is hitting a cool .368 and has driven in 19 runs. His .441 BABIP suggests regression will bring that average down to earth pretty soon. The early power display likely won't last either. However, he plays at a thin position and hits in a lethal lineup. Castellanos has scored 11 runs this season, when it took him all season to score 41 in 2015. As long as he can maintain anything close to the .371 OBP he's sporting at the moment, he should be able to score regularly.

In addition to scoring runs, he's been good at driving them in of late. Castellanos has nine RBI in the last five games, and really looks comfortable at the dish. If this is finally his breakout season, you need to go grab him ASAP. The current pace won't last, but he should be a very serviceable player in leagues of all sizes.
