"After cleaning out a lot of organizational depth at the upper levels of the minor leagues, Toboni has been hard at work identifying interesting talent for new players to fill in those gaps. He has been sure to add without hesitation, bringing in a handful of players from the minor league portion of the Rule 5 Draft as well as making numerous other signings so far this offseason."
"That player would be Warming Bernabel, a corner infielder who broke into the big leagues with the Colorado Rockies this past season. If this name rings a bell, which it might, given that it is so unique, it could be because he made some headlines following a red-hot start to his big league career. In Bernabel's first full week in the majors, he took home National League Player of the Week honors, after he clubbed 3 homers and hit .500 across his first 7 games."
"Following a very busy recent few days that has included a signing of a new starting pitcher who last pitched overseas, a rare prospect swap, and the hiring of a new General Manager, the Washington Nationals decided that they weren't quite done yet. In fact, they just continued what has already been a rock solid offseason for Paul Toboni and his new look front office."
Paul Toboni's new Nationals front office has aggressively reshaped organizational depth, adding players via the minor league Rule 5 Draft and multiple signings. The club signed Warming Bernabel, a corner infielder who debuted with the Colorado Rockies this season and produced a spectacular early stretch, including NL Player of the Week honors after three homers and a .500 week. Bernabel cooled afterwards and finished with an OPS below .700 in 40 games. The primary concern is an extremely low walk rate that limits on-base value despite positional power potential at first and third base.
