Infielder Ildemaro Jose Vargas played in ten games for the Twins in 2020.  He was born in Carapito, Venezleua and signed with St. Louis as a free agent in 2008.  He spent five years in rookie ball, which sounds strange until you realize that he started there when he was sixteen.  He hit well in the Appalachian League in 2012, but did not hit when promoted to higher levels and was released prior to the 2015 season.  Arizona signed him and he suddenly started hitting, batting .321 in Class A in 2015, .354 in a couple of months of AAA in 2016, and .312 in a full season of AAA in 2017.  He got a September call-up that year, but found himself back in AAA in 2018.  He hit .311 and got another September call-up.  Finally, in 2019, he got most of a season in the majors as a reserve infielder, playing mostly at second base.  He did okay for a reserve, batting .269/.299/.413 in 211 plate appearances.  He started 2020 with the Diamondbacks, but was sold to Minnesota on August 11.  He was with the Twins for a little over two weeks and appeared in ten games, starting six of them at second base.  He batted .227/.250/.364 in 24 plate appearances and was put on waivers and claimed by the Cubs, for whom he finished the season.  He started 2021 with the Cubs, was put on waivers in mid-May, was claimed by Pittsburgh, and in early June was sold to Arizona.  He became a free agent after the season and signed back with the Cubs for 2022, but was released in late May.  He signed with Washington went to AAA for them.  At this time last year, we said, "He'll never be a regular, but if he could hit the right situation he might be able to play some more in the majors."  Washington turned out to be the right situation, as he was called up in early August, spent the rest of the season in the majors, and has spent all but a few days of 2023 in the majors.  He's done well for them, batting in the .280s while playing all over the infield and corner outfield.  He turns thirty-two today.  We still don't think he'll be a regular, but as long as he can keep his average around where it is he'll have a job someplace.
