Ventura also didn't experience any adversity last year. No need for any help when the league hasn't adjusted to your repertoire. This year the league adjusted to him and we all see what has happened to him.
Volquez has been through exactly what Ventura has, Cueto knows how to deal. I am probably overrating this, but it cannot hurt to have that outlet for Ventura.
