Maybe it's nothing (sample size of 2 innings!), but it just wasn't where it was in the AFL. Don't know if they were working on a 2 seamer to help with his command or what. In any event, it's probably good to see what Lance Painter can do with him in AA. Yes, he'd be repeating the league, but with a new coaching staff, I'm curious to see what he does this year. Same with Cortes, also sent to AA. I'd definitely expect Cortes in AAA before too long, but this may be a testament to the org's faith in Painter.

Let's see him in Tacoma for a few months first. I’m a BIG fan of Varvaro, but I’m far from convinced he’s ready for the bigs just yet. Let’s see him in Tacoma for a few months first.
