2012
Varvaro had a strong season at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 2.90 ERA and 10.5 K/9 IP. He held his own in the majors, including an extended trial in September, with a 2.40 ERA and 8.6 K/9IP. However, Varvaro walks too many batters to get overly excited (5.3 BB/9IP at Triple-A). He'll compete for a bullpen role this spring, but may struggle to find a high-profile role given Atlanta's deep pitching staff.
2010
Varvaro was promoted to Double-A West Tennessee early in the 2009 season, posting a 2.82 ERA in 36 relief appearances with .163 BAA. He gave up way too many walks, though -- 44 in 54.1 innings – as he continues to work his way back from 2006 Tommy John surgery. His control looked much better in the Arizona Fall League where he walked only three of 55 batters faced. Varvaro, who tallied a healthy 10.4 K/9IP last season, has an above-average curveball and an above-average low-to-mid-90s fastball. He needs more refining and definitely needs to get those walks under control.
