Fremont Bound

The Athletics made a few roster modifications to protect some players from the 40 man draft.  Jermaine Mitchell was added to the 40 man roster so he’ll be protected but then they outrighted Evan Scribner and Cedric Hunter so they could be gone shortly.

Mitchell had a really nice year as an aging minor league player.  He put up solid numbers at both Double A and Triple A and depending on what the A’s do this offseason, you could see him in a major league uniform on opening day.  Mitchell was a fifth round pick way back in 2006 and he’s now 27 years so he’s past the point of being called a prospect but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a productive player for the big league team.
