Out Of Options 2016

The following 40-man roster players have less than five years service time and are out of minor league options. That means they must clear waivers before being sent to the minors. I’ve included players on multiyear deals. This list was compiled through MLBTR’s sources when possible, but may be incomplete for some teams. I’ll update the post as confirmed information comes in.

Paul DeJong Named Appalachian State League Player Of The Week For Period June 22-28, 2015

(.500/.583/.850, 5 G, 10-for-20, 4 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 6 R, 3 BB, 4 K)
The first couple of weeks after getting Drafted can be a whirlwind for young players. At least DeJong, a fourth-round pick this year out of Illinois State, is enjoying the ride. The right-handed-hitting third baseman hit a double in his first four games with Johnson City and went 3-for-3 with a walk in his fifth. DeJong had a .333/.427/.605 line with 14 homers and 15 doubles in 51 games during his final collegiate season, so it appears he's picked up where he left off with the Redbirds.

Prospect Of The Day: Oscar Taveras

With all the recent focus on the upcoming 2014 MLB draft, let's not forget that the St. Louis Cardinals promoted top outfield prospect Oscar Taveras to the major leagues this past weekend. Obviously this is the perfect time to examine Taveras as Minor League Ball's Prospect of the Day.

Oscar Taveras Ranked #1, Stephen Piscotty #3, & Randal Grichuk #13 In Baseball America's Top 40 Corner Outfielders

After a nearly lost year due to ankle injuries, Taveras is still one of the best hitters in the minors, but after him, this list lacks the star power of the center field list. Admittedly, some of the center field prospects will likely end up moving to a corner eventually, but this list doesn’t have as much power as you would expect.
