Kennys Vargas

My insiders are letting me know about an incredible secret deep within the confines of Twins camp in Florida this year.

Kennys Vargas.

Vargas, a natural right-hander that bats from either side of the plate, is launching MOON shots that would make Jim Thome proud, from BOTH of those sides.

A couple of those balls still have not come down and they are most likely in orbit (or simply disintegrated from the impact.)

In what seems like a dream come to life, this young man (he's just 23) is 6 foot five and weighs in at 275 pounds.  He looks like he should be performing in the WWE.

But he's not in McMahon-land.  He's putting on the greatest show down in Florida, and from all reports, he's a bigger attraction than Disneyland right now.

I haven't said much about spring training yet, but there are some things that do get me excited about the Twins.

He HAS served a 50 game suspension for using a banned substance, but it's not as bad as it seems. He was taking a weight-control drug that contained the substance in question. At this point, all parties think it was an honest mistake.

Vargas has future DH written all over him. He is slow, but he has tremendous bat speed. And power.

Boy, does the kid have power.  And he is on the Twins 40 man roster protected list, most likely doing AA ball in the minors this season. He needs some seasoning and conditioning.
