Expert Note
View More NotesAfter showing solid contact in 2016 and power in 2017, Castellanos put it all together to hit .298/.354/.500 with 23 homers. Even playing every day in a desolate Detroit lineup led him to 88 runs and 89 RBI, so he's a high-floor option entering his age-27 season. The ceiling, however, is also limited. While he continues to make more hard contact, he'll struggle to maintain such a high average with the third-highest swinging-strike rate (15.8%) of all qualified hitters. Pay for a steady hand rather than a burgeoning star with more room for growth.

The Tigers and Nicholas Castellanos have avoided arbitration with a one-year, $9.95 million deal.
Fantasy Impact
It's nearly a $4 million raise from a season ago for Castellanos. The 26-year-old has been the subject of trade rumors this off-season and will likely get dealt by the trade deadline if not sooner.
