Clearly, the Tigers would like to give prized prospect Nick Castellanos some more time to be comfortable with the transition from the left side of the infield to the right side of the outfield.

With that in mind, it was no surprise that Castellanos' name was among those included when the lists of players headed to Arizona Fall League was released Wednesday. The 20-year-old Castellanos, who's hitting just .154 over his last 10 games for Double-A Erie, will be joined by six other members of the Tigers minor league system in the AFL. All seven players will be members of the Mesa Solar Sox roster.

The other players headed to the AFL from the Detroit Tigers include: pitchers Matt Hoffman, Michael Morrison, Luke Putkonen, and Tyler Clark; catcher James McCann; first baseman Aaron Westlake.
