08:12 AM ET 05.10 | In Nick Castellanos, Dave Dombrowski has the gem of an everyday prospect that his critics like to say doesn't come around often enough. The Tigers' top draft pick in 2010 is the top hitter in every level of the minors, tearing into the baseball at a .421 clip entering Tuesday. ... Only now does the organization seem to boast significant infield and outfield prospects, specifically in Class A at Lakeland. "It's great that people in Detroit are excited about me," Castellanos said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Lakeland. "But everyone needs to stay patient, especially me. The worst thing you can do is rush yourself, whether it's at the plate during an at-bat or if it's your development timetable."

From his quote, he sure sounds level-headed. He made a very un-Harper like statement...
