Players from the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers make up the roster for the AFL West team. That full roster can also be found at MLB.com.

Some notables:

Francellis Montas, White Sox – Spending most of the year at High-A, Montas emerged as a real talent in the White Sox system after coming over to the organization the prior summer. He posted a 1.44 ERA and 0.914 WHIP in 81.0 IP.

Hunter Dozier, Royals – Splitting the year between High-A and Double-A, Dozier batted a combined .251/.350/.369 in 534 PA. Despite the numbers, the third baseman is still viewed as one of the top prospects in the Royals’ system.

Francisco Lindor, Indians – Lindor already ranked among the game’s top prospects and has done little to quell that notion this season. He batted a collective .276/.338/.389 in 567 PA on the year between Double-A and Triple-A. He’s continued to impress in Arizona, both in the field and at the plate, and may be playing his way into a role with the Indians as soon as next Spring.

Corey Seager, Dodgers – Arguably the top prospect in the Dodgers’ system, Seager batted .349/.402/.602 in 526 PA in 2014 while splitting time between High-A and Double-A. Add in 20 home runs and an impressive 50 doubles and it’s easy to see why so many are high on the 20 year old’s talent.

Rusney Castillo, Red Sox – Castillo became the latest talent to come out of Cuba and land a big-dollar MLB deal, agreeing to a seven year contract with the Red Sox late in the summer. He worked his way through a couple of stops in the minor leagues before making a 10 game appearance in Boston at season’s end. He’s impressed in the field, showing a strong arm and solid range, while also looking good at the plate. Boston sent him to the AFL simply to get more at bats under his belt this season, but Castillo is expected to figure into the team’s starting outfield mix come next season.

Hunter Renfroe, Padres – Like Dozier (who was selected just 5 spots ahead of Renfroe in the 1st Round of the 2013 Draft), Renfroe split the season between High-A and Double-A. In 567 PA he hit .267/.342/.470 with 21 HR and 33 doubles.
