Status: offline 		Suspended game for Chattanooga due to rain. Game will resume later today and I plan to return. I'm not a scout, however:

*Pre-game warmups included tossing footballs around and players running fly patterns. Maybe trying to break up the monotonous routine and keeping players loose.
*Vargas looked lethargic, before and during the game. I would never say it to his face, but I would expect more professionalism.
*Adam Walker has the stats, but Max Kepler certainly looks the part. Very business like approach to working on his game.
*Ran into a fan from Ham Lake, MN and he brought his son, Harmon.

Hopefully they can play a full game today. More rain is in the forecast.

And Goodrum (still playing CF; uggh) is actually holding his own. Even if he just becomes something as an OF, that's still another trade chip to use in deals.

Vargas 2 for 4 with a double.

Big decisions looming for TR. In the short-term, probably easy enough. Cut Robinson, and plug/play Arcia and mix/match for Molitor in the OF/DH/1b/3b. Hicks in CF and Rosario in a pinch. When Buxton's back? And maybe Vargas? Very interesting decisions ahead.

I really don't think you can have Sano and Vargas up at the same time.

If Sano keeps playing this way, we wont see Vargas up again until September.

Very possible. Vargas may be an offseason trade candidate if not this year at the deadline.

Maybe he got rid of that hitch in his swing.

Status: offline 		I think Vargas probably gets you some of the least value (because he really is just a DH) but he also, for that reason, is probably the one that needs to go first out of him/Arcia/Hicks/Kepler/Walker.

I love the kid and wish him well (not TOO well somewhere else haha) but the writing's on the wall for him I think. Probably has to be a deal to an AL club.

Maybe. But Vargas really isn't even a 1b. Maybe for a year or two, like Ortiz. But that's it. He's really bad even at 1b.

Arcia also has a much better minor league track record than Vargas, has had more major league success, and is younger by a year. Ultimately I guess you trade the guy with the higher trade value first. Both will ultimately probably need to go.

I wish I trusted Ryan to make the right decisions. I'm mortified he'll go trade Arcia and he'll go somewhere else and go David Ortiz on the bit.

They are both dropping farther down the list of prospects as time goes on. I think Vargas is at least serviceable as a backup 1B. Arcia is just flat out a a train wreck in the OF. The age difference is insignificant. There is like 9 months between them.
