College – My youngest son started his first day in college yesterday. I’ve been telling him that it’s all about to change for him. He’s going to be living in a walk-in closet yet will still have more fun than ever. I said, “Have a good time but remember that you are setting up your future and it...5024Tue, 23 Aug 2016 11:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dozier39s-not-jerking-around-r5022/In recent years, the season's second half has not been kind to Brian Dozier. In 2014, Dozier hit 18 home runs in the first half and stole 16 bases. It looked like he could be on his way to a 30-30 season. Things slowed down in the second half as he was limited to five home runs and five steals.

The unfortunate victim in the ensuing roster shuffling was Kennys Vargas, who hasn't done much during his time with the team to deserve a demotion.

They will need to reinstate both Phil Hughes and Glen Perkins. Kurt Suzuki will be a free agent and I suggested the Twins non-tender Trevor Plouffe (if he isn’t traded) and Tommy Milone. That leaves three spots.

He hit .275/.315/.406 and ranked 10th in the AL with 35 doubles. Still, he seemed like more of a bandaid at the position than an attractive long-term option.
