O Kennys Vargas, where art thou?
The once promising Vargas hasn’t appeared in regular season game for the Minnesota Twins since the last game of the year in 2015. He came into 2016 battling Oswaldo Arcia for a bench role during spring training. Clearly it didn’t go well for Vargas as the Twins optioned him to Rochester mid-March.
In 2014, I wouldn’t have predicted his fallout. Sitting in section 125, I watched as the future stars of the coming years played in the Futures All-Star Game. Vargas came to bat for the World team and lined a double off the right field wall.
