The Cincinnati Reds have a long streak of avoiding arbitration, and they extend that streak as they ink Dominican RHP, Edinson Volquez for a 1-year, $1.6 Million deal.
Edinson Volquez missed the majority of the 2010 season as he was out recovering from Tommy John's Surgery.
In the 12 games the 27-year-old played in last season, he went 4-3, with a 4.31 ERA. His best season was in 2008, as he went 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA. That season was his first year as a Red, as he came from Texas in the Josh Hamilton trade. In '08, Volquez also got a trip to the All-Star Game.
The Reds hope that Edinson is near the top of their rotation during the season, is fully recovered, and has a good season.
