Nick Castellanos has been on fire since the Tigers traded him to the Cubs at the deadline and there are no signs of that changing anytime soon. Last night against the Giants he went 3-for-5, which included his seventh home run with the Cubs.

He now has 27 hits in 18 games since the trade, slashing .365/.405/.743, in 79 plate appearances.

This is Nicholas Castellanos' 18th game in a Cubs uniform.

He has multiple hits in half of those games and he has at least one extra-base hit in 11 of those 18 contests.

That's quite the pickup…

Castellanos has made an immediate impact in the Cubs offense and he’s even topping Joe Maddon with his quotes.

Before Tuesday night’s series opener against the Giants, Castellanos shared his philosophy on how he plays the game.

Castellanos deep thoughts:

"If what has happened is a memory and what's going to happen is a thought, you're taking yourself out of right now. So in that case, every day is Opening Day."
