    What is there to rebuild? All the useful players outside of Ervin Santana are young.
  2. Brandon Warne
    They are not rebuilding. The rebuild is basically over. You can't rebuild what isn't built. They are on the upswing, which unfortunately is starting very low.

    Berardino said he heard fairly good reports on him back there.

    If anyone cares -- and it's OK that you probably don't -- I wrote my view up here: https://t.co/VFntSR6DRc

    Nick Hundley is more interesting than any of those guys, I think.
  6. Brandon Warne
    To be fair, Brandon Warne is kind of dumb imo
  7. Brandon Warne
    Pressly
  8. Brandon Warne
    Dean and Albers will make starts until Santiago is ready.

    Ha, that was my question.
  14. Brandon Warne
    Literally no one had Wacha at No. 2 overall. That would have been a reach. And beyond that, I'll still take Buxton's potential over Wacha's. Since his magical rookie season: 3.63 ERA, 7.7 K/9, 3.0 BB/9. Those guys aren't (SHOULDN'T BE) hard to find.
  15. Brandon Warne
    Wacha was never a candidate to go 1.2.
  16. Brandon Warne
    Appel didn't go No. 1 the year Buxton went, either. I'm saying the Twins could have drafted for need (Appel, who went 8th) or went best available, which worked out better for them.
  17. Brandon Warne
    You can draft for need and end up with Mark Appel. You can draft best available, and get Byron Buxton, who made the big leagues as a high school pick when Appel was still at DOUBLE-A.
  18. Brandon Warne
    Hey kid I know we drafted you yesterday and you still have two high school games left, but if you can be a future Hall of Famer we'll throw you in there right away.
  19. Brandon Warne
    Yeah but it's A. not a .400+ BABIP and B. a player with a previous track record. I'm cool with disagreement. No worries.
  20. Brandon Warne
    He was a minus-2 win player with the Yankees and has been a plus-2 win player for the Twins. There's a 14-point gap in OPS+. Those are both pretty significant.
  21. Brandon Warne
    As I wrote today -- and I'm not saying you have to have read it, just making conversation -- there's a big divide between what Nunez did with the Yankees and the Twins. He's been better than that as a Twin by a fair margin.
  22. Brandon Warne
    There's a reason the team doesn't think he can stick at short. Tonight is the first time he started there, and they've had ample opportunity to play him there and just haven't. All I'm saying is the same arguments made for Polanco -- he can hit! he's not great defensively! -- apply for Nunez with less question marks for now.
  23. Brandon Warne
    Doesn't have to. His norms are a .270 batting average and a .310 BABIP over 1300+ big league PAs. He doesn't have to keep hitting .330 to have value. I think that's where the craziness about him goes south for me.
  24. Brandon Warne
    It's .365 right now and it's .340 over this year and last. He's proven to be about 40 points away from that mark over his time with the Twins. He's hit .279 with the Twins overall, with a .320 BABIP in about a full season worth of PA.
  25. Brandon Warne
    .300/.344/.445 over his last 316 PA (this year and last). Don't know about you, but I'd give that a longer look.
