Really you need 3 years to evaluate what a player will be , there have been some exceptions ..

Varland deserves another start

Won't it be great if Varland pitches really well down the stretch and the Twins make the playoffs just to watch Varland get the axe because Falvey didn't want to burn an option?

According to MLB.com, Varland was sent down to AAA today.

It would have been great to see him pitch again  and I'm sure we will  ...

BUT ...

The front office blundered and thought a 29th player could be added to the 28 man roster , tgey were informed that Varland had to get sent back down to AAA  ...

Davis was dfa'd  and Cole sands activated  ...

The FO was on the broadcast during the game saying Varland would be sent down - 10 day minimum. Back up for another doubleheader start in September and likelihood he will remain if successful. Open discussion on national broadcast - planned. These guys in FO might not be perfect but they aren’t idiots!

I won't call them "idiots" but I think their philosophy/strategy is very poor.

I didn’t think the 10 day minimum applied due to Varland being added as the 29th man.

I looked this up and I think Cornholio is correct. Varland was added as thee 29th man for a double header. He was required to be returned to the minors the next day. He can come back up at any time thereafter. He does not have to wait 10 days. As far as service time goes, one year of service time for free agency is defined at 172 days. The Twins could bring up Varland for the rest of the season without him accruing a year of service time for free agency. 

I IMAGINE HE WILL BE THE ADD FOR THE DOUBLE-HEADER WITH CLEVELAND, WITH THE OPTION OF SENDING HIM BACK OUT, IF NECESSARY. dDPENDING ON HOW WINDER AND OBER PITCH.

Wow!  After only one start in the show!  Was that you Jimbo that signed Dobnak to his contract?
