He pitched in 43 games (6 starts) in AA+AAA-ball last year for the Mariners and he was 2-5 with a 5.78 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP. Robles has now pitched in 156 games (97 starts) in his first seven years in the minors and he was 31-35 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Robles will likely start the 2013 season in AAA-ball for the Phillies.
