Harden or Volquez?

[wkelly91]

I want to keep one of theses two...Harden is contracted at $10 and Volquez at $5.

I like Harden better, his number from lasy year are superior, and he now will pitch with a better team so more wins. Obviously his problem is health. Volquez has the raw talent, but his number tailed off badly the second half of last year.

Should I roll the dice on Harden staying healthy? Or roll the dice that Volquez numbers won't look like his second half?

I'd roll with Harden. I like Volquez a lot for the future, but there is the extra consideration to factor in also that he's a young pitcher who had a huge comparative workload to previous seasons and plays for Dusty Baker.

Both have risks. I would go with Harden because when he's on the mound he dominates. I do not trust Volquez this year at all and he won't be on any of my teams.

I would take Volquez when factoring in the money. I won't own either of them this year though.

Volquez. Harden will not stay healthy again.

[HOOTIE]

Harden by a mile.

I would take Volquez when factoring in the money. I won't own either of them this year though.

Between the two I would take Volquez. I don't trust Harden to stay healty.

I'd go with Volquez, hes young with alot less injury risk

Both are a risk but seeing as how Volquez comes cheaper, I would go with him. I have no faith in Harden staying healthy. Volquez' numbers did even out towards the end of the year, but its not like he went in the crapper. He was lights out for the first couple months and it was only a matter of time before his numbers caught up with him. Hopefully he will build on this year and go out there in '09 and do well and at the very least, he's not an injury concern.
