Infielder Jeremy Beckham, the older brother of one of Tampa Bay's top prospects, was one of three players released Sunday.
Outfielder Jason Corder and right-handed pitcher Austin Hinkle joined Beckham, a 17th round pick in 2008, which was 16 rounds after kid brother Tim. Tim was the No. 1 overall pick.
Jeremy Beckham hit .231 over two professional seasons.
Corder was a seventh-round draft pick in 2008 out of Long Beach State. After hitting .306 that year with short-season Hudson Valley, Corder had a .229 average last year at low-Class A Bowling Green, where he was a teammate of the Beckhams.
Hinkle had a 2.81 ERA in 153 2/3 professional innings, going 2-6 with a 3.53 ERA last year at high-Class A Charlotte.
