BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: After starting the season with the big league club, Kennys Vargas was sent back down because he struggled in his 28 games with the Twins. He posted a .248/.297/.365 slash line, and only knocked in 10 RBI. The power wasn't quite there either as he only hit three homers.
His time in AAA seems to have been the wake-up call he needed though, as Vargas raked to the tune of .327/.414/.551 with three HR and eight RBI in his 15 games. He'd never played above AA before coming up to the Twins last year, so the fact that he hit well in AAA is a very good sign.
The Twins are hot and he should see the majority of his at-bats as the cleanup hitter now that he has been recalled, so he definitely has some value if you need a potential boost to your power numbers. Owners in deeper leagues should cross their fingers, and hope Vargas can channel his inner David Ortiz.
