Yeah he has 2 losses already but his ratios have been really good and he is still scoring big points in my league. Thoughts on the pickup?

1. how many teams?
2. who would you be dropping?
3. Don't expect him to keep up that pace.
4. He has a suspension he is appealing. I would expect him to withdraw the appeal at some point. Just keep that in mind that you will lose him for what amounts to about a week.

12 with 25 man roster

Raphael Soriano He cost me a minor league 3rd round pick that I couldnt use anyway because my minor league roster was full. Pick was going to go to waste so I took a risk with him.

I dont, but he had a much improved year last season and he is on a damn good team.

Which is fine because I am currently getting no production out of a FA anyway.

Volquez seems to be the best option available.

with 400 people being rostered, Volquez is a fine pickup.

300 rostered, not 400. Regardless, I would drop Soriano for Volquez.

It may have made your Redd rankings less legit if that was the case.

Volquez just dropped his appeal. Starts serving suspension tonight.
