Twins send Aaron Hick down today, and demoted Mike Pelfrey to the bullpen, both moves that probably wouldn't have happens with Gardy in charge. I like the new look of the coaching staff so far. And Pelfrey, who should kiss the asses of everyone in the Twins front office for giving him millions to suck, whines:
Maybe Pelfrey's fire was what he needed to get pumped for the season? IDK, but he looks pretty good now. Any way this old dog has learned a new trick or two? Is there a shot in hell he manages to keep his job and pitch half way decent this year?
I know he's been struggling but i didn't think he was playing bad enough to be demoted.
I suspect they just don't know what to do with Vargas...he can't play defense, he gets winded running the bases, and he doesn't seem to get it at this point. So since he's not killing it with the bat, they'll send him down and hope that he gets a little wake-up call. They've got Arcia coming back soon too, so they need to make room for both him and Nunez.

1/2 game out of first, 10 games over .500 after 50 games!! Yeah, I am surprised, are you ?
Yeah, it's pretty much smoke and mirrors at this point, but the good thing is that there's plenty in the pipeline to make it all real very soon. They'll have a couple of interesting dilemmas before too long...where to play Sano, he's about ready, and Plouffe has turned himself into a really solid major league 3rd baseman. The obvious solution is 1st, but they can't dump Mauer at any price, and that horrible contract runs through 2018. Buxton is probably not coming up until next season, still a lot of rust to knock off, and he has to prove that he's over the injury bug. They still need a SS, Danny Santana is not the answer, IMO. Erv Santana is coming back sooner rather than later, so someone in the rotation takes a seat. And I think that Barrios forces his way into the rotation next year...kid is nails.

Activated from the DL and then optioned to AAA. Between him and Vargas, there's two power bats that have totally shit the bed.
And yet they're in first, crazy!
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
