Volquez allowed just three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. In one of the more open and competitive rotation battles in the majors this season, Volquez has made his mark and seems well on his way to making noise in the show. Volquez was awesome, said manager Dusty Baker, speaking about the hurler after todays loss. It was an awesome display. Their hitters were talking. They couldnt pick up his pitches. He is just what the scouts said he was when they traded (Josh) Hamilton for him. Those are strong votes of confidence from a man that has seen far too many pitchers go south to throw around such words with ease, and it appears this kid needs to be tracked moving forward. |

Though he allowed too many baserunners, he didn't allow the Red Sox to push any runs across the plate.

| February 19, 2008 The Reds plan on letting five guys compete for the final two spots in the rotation.

Volquez, acquired from Texas in the Josh Hamilton trade, threw for the first time Monday. "He needs to work on his off-speed stuff," Jose Valentin, who caught Volquez,. said in the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It was his first day. Maybe he was trying to impress. But he's got a good arm. His fastball moves. He's got a real live arm. That's what you need. Put him in the bullpen or whatever." |
