Speaking of Vargas, I was getting the uniforms confused during the Red Sox game last night, and when I turned the game on I said, "Is that Kennys Vargas?" It was David Ortiz.
This won't last long. On August 1st the lineup will be: 1 Santana SS 2 Dozier 2B 3 Mauer 1B 4 Vargas DH 5 Sano 3B 6 Arcia LF 7 Hunter RF 8 Buxton CF 9 Pinto C Jordan Schafer will have a breakout season but will be traded to the Tigers along with Casey Fien and Tommy Milone for David Price who after winning the World Series here will re-sign. Alex Meyer will pitch a perfect game to win it against the Cubs in game 4 (Meyer replaced Nolasco who will retire midseason to become a NASCAR driver.)
.320/.388/.539 (.928) with 36 doubles and 17 home runs plus 98 RBI. There was someone from the Cardinals org. that said if he gave up some of his power he has a good enough swing to be the next Joe Mauer.
