Honestly, Andrew Painter never really earned his spot in the big league rotation. He was not at all good in the minors last year. He got it based on reputation and expectation. They should send him down until he refines his pitch arsenal and figure figures out how to use his fastball more effectively.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to catch Ferris Bueller skipping school when you have to leave straight from the office to go play third base for the White Sox that night?
It is literally insane to me that the Padres flew Nick Castellanos across the country to come to Philadelphia, didn't play him in the first game, and then released him before the 2nd game.
