What level is Jake Odorizzi starting the year at?

[JoeDirt]

Didn't see him on the Rattlers roster. Did they think that he wasn't ready for full season ball or did they not want him to throw a lot of innings?

[And That]

They might have him in extended spring training working on things until the weather gets warmer in Appleton, or just working on things until Helena starts up. I like a slower pace with high school pitchers, so I'm a fan of leaving Odorizzi, Lintz, Lasker, Billings, Krestalude and Wawrzasek in Arizona. If anyone out of that group does get called up to Wisconsin before Helena begins, I imagine it would be Odorizzi or Wawrzasek first.
