Re: Volpe and Oscar Colas FAAB

Obviously this depends on your roster to some degree, but of the two I would spend up to 30% for Volpe.

Colas has more power potential, but still there is a lot of swing and miss there.

IMO you could have a minimum innings pitched (although personally I don't like rules that restrict the owner's right to manage his team as he sees fit)

No reason to have a maximum IP - if someone wants to go all starters why shouldn't they be able to?
