Detroit Tigers: Sitting Nick Castellanos Was a Bad Choice

On Friday, Nick Castellanos went four for four. On Saturday, the Detroit Tigers’ Skipper Brad Ausmus decided to put Mike Aviles in at third instead. Was this the best decision?

If the score on Friday was any clue to the answer, Ausmus might have done well to put Aviles elsewhere and let Casty play his base.

According to an article by the Detroit Free Press, Ausmus decided to play Aviles because of his record of 9 for 25 against left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia.
