Javy Báez’s is hitting
Big win tonight in a non-Darvish/Hendricks game. Buried the Reds pretty far behind us and picked up a half game on the Cards, too. How does one calculate a magic number these days? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Vargas, 29, was originally signed by the Cardinals as a teenage IFA back in 2008. He worked his way up through their system – without much success – before being released in 2015 and playing in the independent Atlantic League. He picked up with the Diamondbacks soon after that, finally having his first touch of success in Triple-A in 2016: .354/.418/.449 (138 wRC+).That led to his first cup of coffee with the Diamondbacks in 2017, but he didn’t stay long. Vargas bounced up and down from the Minors over the last three years, until the D-Backs DFA’d him in early August of this year. The Twins picked him up for cash considerations five days after that, but they have since DFA’d him, leading to today.
