Defense! Bullpen! Those might be things this year!

I'm not sure about "touted," but keeping Steven Moya in the minors seems like the best option for all parties involved in 2015.

Making a Reliever Out of Kyle Lobstein - TigsTown, Neil Weinberg
I think that Kyle Ryan would make a better left-handed reliever, but I'll take anyone who gets people out.

The fact that the Tigers are even open to this suggestion is great news.

Joke if you want, but even a marginal improvement from Castellanos would go a long way in 2015.
