Vargas has been a pretty consistent 200 IP, 4.00 ERA type of guy. It was a smart signing... I think we've all learned over the last couple years it's important to have a couple guys who can eat innings, even if they're just league average or so. Takes so much pressure off the bullpen. That's why Guthrie and Vargas are worth their paychecks. The key is developing a couple starters on your own. Even the big market teams have to do it. Hopefully they've finally done it with Ventura and Duffy.
