On Saturday, Volquez threw 40 pitches over two innings in a simulated game at the team's complex in Goodyear, Ariz. The club is still determining a schedule for Volquez and hopes he could begin pitching in extended spring games as soon as next week. Volquez, who had ligament replacement surgery in August, is also concurrently serving a 50-game suspension for violating the league policy on performance enhancing drugs. Although he's not missing any games, Volquez isn't being paid during the suspension, which ends on June 13. He is targeted to return to the Reds in late July or August.

BengalRep85-9 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Someone is going to have to go to make room for him... Arroyo is pitching too well to get rid of, Leake and Cueto definitely aren't going anywhere. Bailey's injured but doesn't sound that bad. My guess is Harang gets traded at the deadline and they bring up one of the young guns to hold down the spot if Volquez isn't fully ready yet. Theres almost TOO many young guys ready to come up in our system. What a great problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I wonder what a simulated gmae is like, is he pitching to real batters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 THe plan, according to Baker and Fay, is that Volquez will start July 7th, barring any setbacks!! Great fucking news. Just hoping for no setbacks the next couple weeks. By the way I dont know if Bgwilly ever reads this board, but after reading some of his posts on redszone, THANK GOD he doesnt post here anymore.
