Marlins Trade SP Chris Volstad to Cubs for SP Carlos Zambrano

[jOOj]

Leave the memories alone.

[Erick]

Funny how this makes me see who may actualy care if I'm here or if I'm not.

Most of us don't even know each other personally. I'm not sure why you're being so sensitive to the point that you'd expect others to care.

It's not our fault that Volstad was traded. Blame it on the alcohol and the amount of home runs he gave up.

[FishFF]

Bonds.....Michael Jordan.......Chris Volstad. Which one doesn't belong.

[Ramp]

Well Bonds is a lefty, so I'll say him.

[Metes]

Also the only roidhead

If only Chris had tried PEDs, he wouldn't be in this mess

[Namaste]

If my favorite player got traded I'd be PO'd too.

I wouldn't find a new favorite team but still...........

Hi Flum!!!

This thread is all kinds of stupid, and went off topic. Congrats.

Anyway,

JJ
Buerhle
Sanchez
Nolasco
Zambrano

Top 10 rotation in the majors. amirite?

[Miamarlin21]

If everything, or half, goes right, yes. If not, it could be really, really bad.

I think JJ/Buehrle/Sanchez are guys you can probably project a range of ERA and they'll probably produce within it (although obvious questions of JJ's health).

The only REAL questions are the #4 and #5 in the rotation, and even those guys are former aces (Nolasco 2008, Zambrano 04-09), and most teams don't have nearly as talented #4 and #5 pitchers as we do.

I'd be surprised if we aren't in the top 10 pitching next season.

I think you can say that about just about any pitcher in baseball, no?

[Swifty]

3 time all-star who has only once had an ERA+ below 111 in his career as a starter? Yeah, I'll gladly take that as my 4/5.

Small range, not like 0.00 to 100 ERA

I mean like, if we're talking about Nolasco, he's too unpredictable to say an ERA he'll be around. He usually has a 4.60 or so ERA, but his pitching stuff is good enough to have him in the low 3 to high 2 range. We just have no idea what Ricky will come next season.

JJ's consistently good, Buerhle is probably putting up around a 3.50 or so ERA, and Anibal's in the Buerhle range. Those guys we, for the most part, don't have to worry about imploding.
