If he returns to form he could easily be sub 3.50

Returns to form? He's had one season over 1.1 WAR in his entire career. James Shields put up more WAR last year than Volquez has cumulatively in his entire career outside of 2009. He was 3.9 in 2009 and he's at a combined 2.6 for the other 850 innings he's pitched, which means that if he gives you 200 IP, you're looking at around .6 WAR.

Gawd, I hope we come out of the gate raping this spring. Last fall still seems like it was a dream

He had to be talking about Medlen Volquez will be good this year. Our defense is that good. Gives pitchers that much extra confidence. All he has to do is throw strikes. |

Dude needs to eat innings. An ERA from 4.00-4.25 would be a huge win. Expecting sub-4 is unrealistic. |

$20 bucks via PayPal. Voided if he pitches fewer than 140 innings due to injury. If he pitches fewer than 140 due to losing his rotation spot and is over 4 you pay up. Only innings as a starter count, so if he is at 3.98 as a starter in 145 IP and then gets torched as a reliever, I pay up. Luck provision: If he puts up an xFIP of over 4.75 but an ERA under 4, the bet is canceled; no one pays up.

I'd lean towards Hamas but with two points: Volq has had a pretty stable FIP of 4.15ish last three years, that's pretty good. Second, we are in need of a 5th starter. We can't really throw Aaron Brooks or a Hendricks type (I know he's gone but you get the idea). 175IP of ~4.30 FIP would def be welcome on our team

after the division champ clinching win I wandered down the first base side, hoping the boys would come out and celebrate with the fans. as they did, I got high 5s from several of the boys, my little gio had to take 3 or 4 leaps to reach my hand. he was the only one who had trouble getting that high. rest in piece, little buddy.

Since you are trying to cover all bases, maybe you can name an impartial arbitrator while you are at it, in case there is any question on the outcome. (possible argument on whether he lost his spot due to ineffectiveness before 140 IP)
