Thoughts on Volstad....

[buffalobillsrul2002]

relief appearance after throwing into the 9th just 2 days before? what is going on?

We're near the all-star break. These things tend to happen near the all-star break, and yesterday was probably Volstad's "throw day" anyways.... He's going to get like a million days off I would think between now and the next time he starts (he IS the Marlins 5th starter right now, correct?)

Bailey, Scherzer, Ballister, Petit, Jackson, Foppert...

Well, don't sell the farm folks.

I dropped this guy a week before he was recalled and picked up Jhoulys Chacin on my minor league roster. I'd rather have a future stud (Chacin) than a #3-4 starter in Volstad.

Yahoo just screwed up, it wasn't Volstad.

Could you explain this post?

i think he is naming busts......

How can Bailey, Scherzer, and Balaster be considered busts? They are all still rookies and I have no idea which Jackson he is refering to. If that is what he is saying thats just ignorance.

Im guessing Edwin. Regardless, i agree with you. The list is incredibly random and also poorly thought out. The only one that makes any sense if Foppert. The 3 you mentioned are by no means decidedly busts and Edwin Jackson has turned out fine.....Petit I never thought was all that highly touted, although neither is Volstad really....

Volstad could be a stud if he had a great defense behind him, but the Marlins infields sucks with the D so I see Volstad as a #3-4. With a solid D and pitching in that park, he could be a stud.
