May 6, 201115 yr Volstad will never be appreciated for his value. When you compare him only to 4th and 5th starters he looks a lot better. Also, there is little appreciation as fans for pitchers that are in their 4th season, at an age that most pitchers are hoping for a shot at the bigs. Nolasco, with similar performance, is going to be more highly thought of because when he is on, he owns. Volstad is never going to just dominate, when gets it all together he is just going to quietly retire guys. Volstad was a stud when he first came on, and when he´s on he can dominate in a Westbrook kind of way. Either way I dont really get on Volstads way, because I get that he´s 24, but this a make or break year for him with the marlins. I want to see him reach his potential here not elsewhere. You wonder if having a horrible defense behind him prior to this season negatively affected the way he pitches....
