Vargas is on waivers it's reported on trade rumor. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

 

If they don't claim him something is really wrong. Good start for next yr.

 

Great point and given the horrific state of the pitching staff and that the Twins have first pick on these waiver options for AL players, it's perplexing that Vargas- and many other waiver-wire dumps with team control going forward and for costs less than the siging some of the upcoming FAs- haven't been snapped up by the handful.

A lot of his ERA is manufactured in Safeco; his road ERA in his four years for the Mariners is above 4.5 and his 2012 hasn't moved that appreciably He'll likely draw $8M in arbitration, then elect free agency after 2013. Still interested?

Given the current state of the Twins staff, yes.

I don't see much improvement in stuff or location from Hendriks so far, but he's certainly been luckier at least. I'll take it.

Me 2... I'm ok with Vargas at 8 Mill.

I think some of our farm experts on Twins daily were underselling Florimons defense.

 

Same kid with 4 errors on one road trip?

Yeah. But the one error I witnessed in person, it was him seemingly getting flustered by the pitcher not covering first, and he threw essentially to where the pitcher had been instead of where he was heading. D'oh! But that kind of thing seems coachable; the vacuum-cleaner action on a sharp grounder far to his right not so much, he's either got the knack or he doesn't. It is annoying, though, that by age 25 he hasn't gotten the kinks out of his game. He's almost not a "kid" anymore. Who is the middle infield coach at Rochester and up with the Twins?

I like Middle infielders who can get the ball to 2nd in a variety of ways. Florimon seems to have that plus range.
