The Chicago Cubs lose Chris Volstad on waivers
The Cubs have lost 26-year old righty starting pitcher Chris Volstad on waivers to the Kansas City Royals. Volstad pitched in 21 games (all starts) for the Cubs last year and he was 3-12 with a 6.31 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. He gave up 137 hits and 43 walks in 111 1/3 innings last year while whiffing 61 batters, as he wasn’t missing many bats. The Cubs aren’t going to miss Volstad in the future as he was flat out awful for them in 2012.
