CHRIS VOLSTAD RUMORS
Colorado Rockies Recall Josh Outman, Option Chris Volstad
MLB News: The Colorado Rockies made one guy happy and another sad Friday, recalling lefty Josh Outman from Triple-A Colorado Springs while optioning righty Chris Volstad to the same club. Despite Outman’s 2012 struggles, the Rockies are hoping for a change-of-luck for the 28-year old pitcher.
Fantasy Ramifications: None. This move reeks of desperation. Neither player holds any...
Rockies Sign Chris Volstad to Minor League Deal
The Colorado Rockies have reportedly signed Chris Volstad to a minor league deal. He will have every chance to make the Major League roster this spring if he performs well. And if he does make the Major League club, he will receive a solid payday.
According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Rockies have agreed to a $1.5 million deal with Volstad if he makes the Major...

Volstad breaks 24-start winless skid
It was a long time coming for Chicago Cubs right-hander Chris Volstad, so perhaps it was only fitting that he had to sit through a 2-hour, 23-minute rain delay before he started Sunday and wait another 30 minutes after another rain delay hit following the eighth inning. But in the end, Volstad had his first victory in more than a year as the Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 5-0 at...
Chris Volstad is 0-9
When a pitcher makes twelve starts and has an 0-9 record, is there really a point to try and figure out if the guy is just unlucky or just plain not pitching well? Probably not. Is there a need to break it all down when reaching back to last season, Chris Volstad has lost fourteen straight decisions? Perhaps not there either. Volstad is not threatening (yet) Anthony Young's losing...

An just when you had won four in a row…Volstad will make the start for the Cubs tonight against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.

Projecting the 2012 Cubs: Chris Volstad
It looks like Chris Volstad has the last rotation spot locked up. If you looked up "serviceable" in a dictionary there would probably be a picture of Volstad next to it. He's been in the bigs for most of four seasons, and made 87 starts in his last three years with the Marlins. Perhaps one of the reasons that Thoyer targeted him in the Z dump was that his peripherals...
