Volquez Vs Cueto

Where's Bailey as an option?   I kid, I kid.   I'll go with Cueto though.

Based on his debut, I'll go with Cueto.  He looks like he could be the next great thing... but, hey, for both of them, it's just one start.  But I'm definitely excited about them!

Hopefully the Reds will be able to hang onto them long enough to have two very high quality starters in their rotation for years to come. 

Haha Ortizzle!  

But, seriously, give Homer some more time in the minors.  I think he'll be a pretty good Major Leaguer.  I wish it was this season, but it's better to develop him than destroy him out of over-eagerness.

I own Volquez in my fantasy league but I have to go with Cueto because both guys get strikeouts and Cueto's been a little more consistent with his control.  That said, the Reds look like they're in good shape, just think, Homer Bailey's in the minors!

Well Cueto had a good second start too. Still no walks and 18 K in 13.1 innings is outstanding. Let's hope his numbers don't fall off too much once the league has a chance to scout him a little more.

Volquez had 2 walks in 5.1 innings in his first start which is pretty good. Let's see how he does the next time out.

I think it's too early to declare one better than the other. Another factor to consider is who is going to be able to handle the long schedule of the major leagues. We all know what Dusty did to Prior and Wood in Chicago so let's hope he limits these guys innings to avoid the same type of injuries.
