if you're going to sign Maholm why not just keep volstad instead and save some money
Volstad (righty), 4.89 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, .1 WAR
Maholm (lefty), 3.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 2.6 WAR
Maholm just seems like a nice lefty starter that is flying under the radar having played in Pittsburgh and posting a 6-14 record.
