To me the biggest gut punch of the season was demoting Arcia and Parmelee. After being swept by the Royals - it is not surprising some changes were made. Many, including myself, have championed Hicks this season, but at this point, sending him down for a month to retain his services for an extra year sounds like a great plan to me. In a perfect world, Hicks would have won ROY and the Twins would have finished at around .500. Diamond on the other hand, might be a poor man's Allan Anderson. I appreciate the season he gave us last year, but at this point, I do not expect anything more from him from this point forward. If he returns and is a success - Great! If he never returns again, and this is the last we hear from him - It will not uproot my peace of mind. I am glad Arcia is back. We really need his bat in the line-up. Hell, he will probably strike out a lot. It's not like everyone else who plays consistently hasn't been doing that. Hopefully Parmelee is a soon to follow call up.
