B/R MLB 300: Ranking the Top 5 Designated Hitters of 2016

The next stop on the 2016 Bleacher Report MLB 300 will be brief. It's time to look at the top designated hitters in the league.

Only 15 teams get to use the DH, and relatively few of them have a full-timer at the position. We're only going to look at the top five DHs for 2016. Due to their lack of defensive value, their scores add up to only 80 possible points:

MLB Postseason Power Rankings: Where All 10 Playoff Teams Stack Up

With the 2016 MLB regular season officially wrapped up and the 10-team playoff field now set, this week's power rankings are going to be a little bit different than what you may be used to.

Looking at last week's performance is not necessarily the best indicator of which direction each of these teams is headed, as some of them clinched prior to last week and were resting guys and setting up their playoff rotation, while others were battling just to make it in.

B/R MLB 300: Ranking the Top 40 Corner Outfielders of 2016

And now for the final stop on the Bleacher Report MLB 300's tour of the top position players of the 2016 Major League Baseball season: corner outfielders.

The corner outfield spots are where you can find a decent number of stars but also many platoon bats and general part-time scrubs. We narrowed our list down to 40 names whose scores reflect that the corner outfield spots are offense-first positions:

Biggest MLB Duds of 2016 MLB Regular Season, Position by Position

You might be wondering how a member of the mighty Chicago Cubs could end up on our season-ending All-Dud team, but Jason Heyward contributed as little as possible to his team's overall success during the regular season.

Maybe that will change during the playoffs. Maybe not. But that matters not for our purposes, which are to comprise a roster full of baseball's biggest disappointments. As usual, our season-ending roster is a 10-man squad, one that includes a designated hitter and starting pitcher.

Takeaways from MLB Week 26

The death of Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez shook the baseball world. It stopped, memorialized one of its great young talents and mourned.

With difficulty, the sport tried to move on, holding onto the memory of the charisma and joy that Fernandez brought to the game while soldiering on to the end of the 2016 regular season.

But nothing was more touching or memorable than what the Marlins did to honor their teammate.

There are typically 150 starting pitchers in Major League Baseball at any given moment. And while 2016 hasn't been a banner year for great starting pitching the way the previous few years were, there are still many good starters out there. Our list covers 80 of them, who are scored like so:

2016-17 MLB Free Agents: B/R's Initial Top 25 Big Board

With the end of MLB's regular season almost upon us, we sit only weeks away from Opening Day of the hot-stove league and the start of free agency.

Much has been made of this year's crop of free agents, and most of the chatter hasn't been complimentary. The market lacks quality starters but makes up for it with a number of solid position players and substantial bullpen help.

Our initial big board reflects that, as it's heavy on the bats and light on the arms.
