Vargas in at 1B

Lead is no longer safe
Mauer's last 5 for 5 game was 5 days before his concussion.

Molitor probably not aware of that, but should have left him in, regardless.

The weird part was Mauer played D in the top of the 6th.

But replaced by Vargas in the bottom half.

That doesn't make sense

If this past week was any indication Vargas should be getting those Abs in the Arizona Fall league


Vargas is odds on favorite for MVP in the american league next year!

I don't see Joe playing another 6 years

Not with the money he has made. His chances of playing anywhere but Minnesota, are almost non-existent. Even on a veteran's minimum, there's only 1 team that would find value for a light hitting 1st baseman, and he's on that team.

I can't imagine the current front office will make more than a gentleman's offer, ignoring sentiment.

I don't know, say he plays another 3 years and gets to about 2,500 hits I can see him trying to hang on for a few years hoping to get to 3,000. I honestly think the front office gives him way more than what he's worth to stay, like 4 years $80M

Apparently Mauer told Molitor he already had 5 5 hit games so he would come out if Paul let him play 1st today.

Good move sparing us from Vargas

Don't get me wrong. Santana is doing his annoying nibbling that never works yet again, but...

This ump is a complete joke. He's giving Santana none of what Kennedy is getting and it's changing ABs regularly.
