Detroit — It was an odd sight.

There was Tigers rookie Willi Castro getting in some early fielding work with Dawel Lugo, Ronny Rodriguez, Harold Castro and Jeimer Candelario before the game Tuesday. Infield coach Ramon Santiago was calling out situations and spraying ground balls.

Everybody else was picking and throwing. Not Willi Castro. He was picking it just fine, ranging to his left and right fluidly. But when it came to throwing it, he took off his glove, put the ball in his left hand and made some really funky-looking tosses.
