Straight Outta Options

Jason mentioned this idea on Sunday’s pod so I went ahead and put it together. It’s a list of all the players on 40-man rosters who are out of options and thus could have the inside track on roster spots if they’re directly competing with someone who does have an option left. He mentioned that he uses this info to identify some options for AL/NL Only leagues where playing time is king. Hat tip to Justin for the title of this piece!

I didn’t pick and choose who to mention so you’ll see some guys who are obviously not in grave danger of even being sent down at any point. Instead, I’m just listing all the 40-man players with a “0” in the options column on Roster Resource. These guys could be dealt to or picked up by teams where their playing time gets a boost.

Jurickson Profar is an interesting name. Hasn’t done much, but at least it feels like he’s closing in on either a true opportunity or a change of scenery.

Blake Swihart is another guy who bears watching in AL only.

What is your take on Profar this year and forward? Do you like him to be a good MLBer going forward?
