Nice to see Vargas pitching well in AAA. It is comforting to know that there is someone capable down there to help out if Pelfrey and Perez (with Maine being less of a concern) are not ready and/or ineffective. And his name isn't Lima or Gonzalez.

I hate to make the comparison, but didn't King Felix add velocity around the age of 18. He seemed to burst onto the scene out of nowhere?
