Cincinnati Reds’ Edinson Volquez happy to be pitching again

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Cincinnati Reds Jersey pitcher Edinson Volquez got tired during his first outing of the spring Thursday. Not his arm, that was fine. But it’s amazing Volquez didn’t nod off in the dugout after his recent schedule.
Volquez, the scheduled Opening Day starter, went 2 1/3 innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits in Thursday’s 7-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He walked two, struck out two and threw 60 pitches in his first outing of the spring because of visa problems that caused him to return to the Dominican Republic.
“I got a little tired,” he said. “My arm felt strong. But my body got a little tired.”
Volquez spent all of Wednesday traveling. He left the Dominican at 7:30 a.m., flew to New York and caught a flight to Phoenix, which arrived at 10:30 p.m.
“I was happy to be on the mound again,” he said.
In order to get there, Volquez had to deal with another dose of government bureaucracy in his quest to obtain his work visa. He flew Sunday to the Dominican for his Monday morning appointment. After that, he went to the U.S. Consulate.
“They said my visa wasn’t ready, so I left my passport,” Volquez said.
The call came Wednesday that the visa was ready.
“I was worried bad,” he said. “I was like, ‘I can’t wait anymore, I’ve got to get back to Arizona.’”
Volquez’s visa was held up because he failed a Major League Baseball drug test for performance-enhancing drugs and was suspended for 50 games in 2010. Volquez took and passed two drug tests — one by MLB, the other by the consulate — before leaving the Dominican the first time Feb. 16. He’s passed two more since arriving in camp.
Volquez will start a minor league game March 15, an off day. He’ll get two more starts before Opening Day.
“I think I’ll be OK,” he said. “I threw a little bit down there (in the Dominican) at the complex. When they told me Monday morning my visa wasn’t ready, I went to the complex.”
He thinks he’ll be fine going into the season.
“I’ve thrown so many bullpen sessions and simulated games,” he said. “I feel like I’m going to be ready.”
Volquez said he won’t have to go through this process in 2012.
“That’s what they say,” he said, spoken like a man who’s dealt with a lot of bureaucrats lately. Cheap Football Jerseys .
Running low on time today, i’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some more news.
The Afterthoughts: Baltimore Orioles

Off-Season Moves: The Baltimore Orioles Jersey had a relatively quiet off-season as compared to the rest of the AL East. They brought in third baseman Mark Reynolds — he of the major league-leading 211 strikeouts in 2010 — from Arizona in exchange for two right-handed pitchers. They also traded for shortstop J.J. Hardy and acquired first baseman Derrek Lee, designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero, and right-hander Justin Duchscherer via free agency. Baltimore lost second baseman Julio Lugo, left fielder Corey Patterson, first baseman Ty Wigginton and rightie Kevin Millwood to free agency. Finally, the team re-signed reliever Koji Uehara and signed reliever Kevin Gregg.
Strengths: Three of the team’s four 2010 leaders in home runs and RBI — plus the top three batting averages — make up this year’s starting outfield; left fielder Luke Scott (.284, 27, 72), center fielder Adam Jones (.284, 19, 69, pictured above) and right fielder Nick Markakis (.297, 12, 60). The fourth member of that group is the departed Wigginton (.248, 22, 76). MLB .

The fourth member of that group is the departed Wigginton (.248, 22, 76). MLB .
The Orioles had a respectable .259 team batting average in 2010, 13th in the majors, and their off-season should ultimately bring that up. Scott represents an upgrade over Patterson (.269) average-wise, while Scott’s replacement at DH, Guerrero (.300), represents an upgrade there as well. Lee (.260) brings a slightly higher average than the guy he’s replacing, Wigginton. Hardy (.268) at shortstop should hit for a higher average than last year’s regular, Cesar Izturis (.230). The only hit to the team’s average is the addition of Reynolds (.196), but he’s got a career average of .242, so he should hit better than last year.
