    Yes, it does. Here's where you want to go: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2016.shtml
  2. Brandon Warne
    The pen is where the actual good arms are on this team, though. That's the tough part.
  3. Brandon Warne
    By weighted age, their offense was the fourth-youngest in baseball and second in the AL. I'd call that fairly young. The pitching staff was exactly the MLB average.
  4. Brandon Warne
    I should be clear -- this is not how I'd _choose_ to structure the 25-man roster. Just how I see it playing out.
  5. Brandon Warne
    Virtually the entire lineup was young last year.
  6. Brandon Warne
    Until 2016 happens.
  7. Brandon Warne
    A little unusual to use the same qualifier for a player who has played one year as veterans, though
  8. Brandon Warne
    And I mean, to be fair, it's not like Berrios gave them reason last year to give him a free pass into the rotation
  9. Brandon Warne
    I don't disagree, but my theory is this: you can go from oldies to the kids. You can't do vice versa.

    I updated my potential Opening Day roster projection for the Twins here: http://zonecoverage.com/2017/twins/projecting-the-minnesota-twins-2017-opening-day-roster-take-2/ As always, comments and critiques are welcomed!

    I'm very bad at posting these. Here's the latest one with Josh Whetzel of the Rochester Red Wings: https://t.co/VqcvAoryGT
  12. Brandon Warne
    That's why there's a competition for the fifth starter spot. None of these are -- or should be -- ironclad.
  13. Brandon Warne
    Oh for sure, there's that, too.
  14. Brandon Warne
    Huh? It's a mix of their best guys and Hughes, who they sort of have to run out there again based on his salary. Basically, it's not unfair to send Berrios back to Rochester. He hasn't earned/proven anything in MLB. It would probably be unfair to May, but he can go to Rochester and lengthen out a bit more in the meantime. Who else is it unfair to? Duffey? He got obliterated last year. I have no issue with those four being secure. Is it a good rotation? Eh, not particularly. But is it four of their best/most prepared guys. I think so.

    Wrote about how I'm not worried that the Twins are coming off a 100-loss season with a middling farm system here: http://zonecoverage.com/2017/twins/dont-fret-about-twins-prospect-rankings/ As always, discussion and critiques are welcome.
  16. Brandon Warne
    I hope it works for him but I'm not about to wring my hands about anything yet.
  17. Brandon Warne
    This was set in stone last October, really. No surprises.
  18. Brandon Warne
    What? The league split for that situation was .177/.246/.278
  19. Brandon Warne
    "If a guy gets on base 40 percent of the time, it doesn’t mean he can score runs. It means he can get on base." I love Doz, but I'm dumber for having read that.
  20. Brandon Warne
    Buxton would probably hit ninth in this scenario.
  21. Brandon Warne
    Players I could see leading off at some point this year I'd be OK with: Mauer Polanco Buxton Grossman Kepler Don't really care to see Dozier do it again.
  22. Brandon Warne
    Nothing for nothing, but last year Mauer had a .383 OBP against righties and Grossman had a .418 mark against lefties.
  23. Brandon Warne
    Lead Mauer off against righties, Grossman against lefties.
  24. Brandon Warne
    I don't know that Dozier has ever been a one-dimensional hitter -- at least not since his breakout. The walk rate adds a second dimension. One-dimensional should be reserved for guys like....I don't know. Oswaldo Arcia?
  25. Brandon Warne
    ZiPS on Adrianza says .242/.304/.367 Not too far off from Iglesias, with no way to know for sure how the reportedly very good glove would play in larger sampling. I'm OK with Adrianza at the cost, then.
