It's unclear if the Rockies would view Volstad as a starting candidate with the big club at any point since they seemed to scratch that idea quite early in spring training, allowing Volstad to make the club as a long reliever.","date":"Tue Apr 23"},"fullName":"Chris Volstad","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hey hey, Volstad in Coors. Yay! This right-hander had a 5.14 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 109 starts the past four seasons combined, those ratios ranking second and fourth worst among the 100 pitchers with 500-plus innings, and now he's competing for an opportunity to pitch half his games in the game's most hitter-friendly environment. It's understandable that the Rockies, who are starving for proven rotation options, might need arms like Volstad's to fill innings. But with his skill set, there's a good chance he might not even last deep into games to serve that purpose -- and that's addressing only his on-field value. In fantasy, he's a desperation road-matchups type at best.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"positionRank":197}
