Description: Padres starter Edinson Volquez allowed two runs on three hits in six innings Friday against the Rays in a no decision. | Insight: Volquez came in having won three straight starts and he exited with the lead, but Dale Thayer blew it. Volquez, as usual, has walked a ton of batters (20 BB in 43 2/3 IP), but unlike last year he also has given up a lot of hits (48) while striking out just 24 batters. | | |

Description: Padres starter Edinson Volquez shut out Seattle on four hits in 6 2/3 innings Sunday to improve to 4-7. Volquez walked three and struck out four. | Insight: Volquez (4-7, 3.82 ERA) has an 80/54 K/BB ratio in 93 2/3, so he's too risky to start unless he's facing a weak-hitting opponent at home. | | |

Description: Edinson Volquez beat the Phillies and Roy Halladay on Saturday to improve to 2-2 on the season. Volquez threw six innings of one-run ball, giving up six hits and striking out five. | Insight: Volquez has reverted to his past dominance this season, his first with San Diego. The righty has posted a 2.79 ERA, and though the walks are still there, he's limited the damage by allowing just a .201 BAA. | | |

Description: Edinson Volquez had his best start as a Padre on Thursday night, throwing seven innings on one-run ball and giving up just three hits with one walks while striking out seven against Washington. | Insight: Volquez is still winless despite pitching mostly well this season. On Thursday, he showed what he can do when he consistently pumps the strike zone. | | |

Description: Edinson Volquez is 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA in his first three starts with the Padres this season. | Insight: Volquez does have 17 strikeouts in 17 innings, but he walks too many batters to be a must-start pitcher. Volquez is currently carrying a BB/9 rate of 6.35 and a WHIP of 1.53, so save yourself the headache and move on. He's four years removed from his only viable fantasy season, so perhaps it's time to admit that that season was an aberration. | | |

Description: Edinson Volquez tossed five innings in the Padres Opening Day tilt with the Dodgers. Volquez gave up three hits, three runs (two earned), walked four and struck out seven. | Insight: Volquez can't get over the control issues that have plagued him throughout his career, even during his breakout 2008 season. He walked 65 in 108 2/3 innings last season. Hopefully Petco Park can corral some of those long fly balls (19 HR allowed in 2011) and prevent them from becoming three-run homers. | | |

Description: Edinson Volquez will be the Padres' Opening Day starter when they take on the Dodgers this Thursday at Petco Park. | Insight: Fantasy owners can't seem to shake Volquez' brilliant 2008 season (17-6, 3.21 ERA) from their memories, continuing to waste a draft pick on him year after year. The fact is, Volquez hasn't been effective in fantasy for quite some time and last year he was downright awful (5-7, 5.71). Maybe pitching at Petco, a notorious pitcher's park, will help Volquez some, but we're still not convinced that he's really back. | | |

Description: Reds SP Edinson Volquez was rocked for six earned runs on seven hits in just over five innings of work as the Reds were slaughtered by their rival, the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-1 Tuesday night. | Insight: Volquez allowed two early runs in the first inning followed by three more in the 5th and one more in the 6th before giving way to Sam LeCure. Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman each took him deep before his departure in the 6th. | | |
| 6/8/2011 9:32:00 AM |
Description: Volquez is looking like his old self again and on Tuesday night he only allowed 1 ER through seven innings of work against the Cubs. Volquez gave up seven hits and two walks while striking out five. | Insight: It looks like the time spent at Triple A Louisville may have been a wake up call and Volquez could still be a good buy low option. | | |
| 4/12/2011 9:20:00 AM |
Description: Reds SP Edinson Volquez picked up the victory against the Padres, allowing two runs in six innings. He gave up three hits and walked three while racking up five strikeouts. | Insight: Volquez was better in this outing and should get the benefit of runs from the loaded Cincy offense. He is worth using in mixed leagues when the match-up is right or when he is a two-start pitcher. | | |
| 3/31/2011 5:12:00 PM |
Description: Reds SP Edinson Volquez allowed three homers, including two to the first two batters he faced, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings of work. He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 5. | Insight: Volquez received a no decision as the Reds rallied in the 9th inning. In addition to the three homers Volquez had a wild pitch and must improve on his control. | | |
| 3/9/2011 10:07:00 AM |
Description: Reds SP Edinson Volquez will make his first start of spring training this week.
SOURCE: Dayton Daily News | Insight: Volquez's delay was because of visa issues, not an injury; he is a risky pick because he has not finished a full season since 2008. | | |
| 2/14/2011 12:05:00 AM |
Description: The team's official website reports that Volquez turned down a four-year offer from the Reds before accepting a one-year deal to avoid arbitration. | Insight: Volquez turned in a 4.31 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 12 starts last season as he returned from Tommy John surgery. He'll turn 28 in July and is clearly looking to prove he's back before signing a long-term deal. (RapidDraft.com) | | |

Description: Reds SP Edinson Volquez lasted just 1 2/3 innings in his NLDS start against the Phillies. Volquez allowed 4 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks; he did not strike out a batter. | Insight: The Reds have to face Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt...if they are going to have any shot in this series they need their starters to pitch better than Volquez did. | | |
