The price of adding Edinson Volquez to my rotation would cost me my top pitching prospects: Michael Pineda, Kyle Gibson, and Simon Castro.  Do you think its worth it?  I dunno.

Seems kinda expensive for a pitcher coming of TJ surgery and a history of control issues.  Any of the above pitching prospects can actually develop into a better pitcher than Edinson, right?  I am torn on this because the upside of Volquez is pretty huge based on the fact that he put up a 3.21 era and 200+ Ks in 2008.  So the potential is there, but also a track record of inconsistency.  I would love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks.
