2012
Castellanos came to the Dodgers in the Rafael Furcal deal last year and it was a breakout season for the 25-year-old. Batting .320/.386/.573 with 23 home runs and 14 stolen bases in 125 games at the Double-A level, Castellanos looks to be worth monitoring in keeper formats. He's a corner outfielder, but there has been some conversation about trying him at second base where the Dodgers have no obvious long-term solution. Castellanos could compete for the left field job this spring, but he's more likely to open in Triple-A. Watch for that position change and key in on him if the bat holds up at the Triple-A level.
