Cincinnati Reds' Edinson Volquez activated, out hurt after 1 inning - ESPN

Edinson Volquez - the new Mark Prior?

He came off the DL for precisely one inning. In his first full year as a starter, he was a spectacular 17-6 with more strikeouts than innings pitched. This year he is 4-2 with an ERA slightly above 4.

In Prior's first full year he was a spectacular 18-6 with more strikeouts per innings pitched. He followed that up with a 6-4 season, with an ERA slightly above 4.

Let's root for Edinson's ability to end that parallel, because Prior, who is still only 28 years old, is probably now working as a Wal-Mart greeter.
