I didn't see it, so I won't go into great detail other than to say it seemed that Chris Volstad wrapped up his rotation spot with a strong (by his standards, at least) start Saturday against Washington: 5 innings, 2 K's, 2 walks, 1 earned run (1 run total).
He ran into some trouble in the first inning after loading the bases but he battled back to turn in 5 full innings.
It now looks as if the Marlins have 4 rotation spots filled: Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez and Chris Volstad with a three man race for the 5th and final spot among Clay Hensley, Rick Vandenhurk and FirstPlaceFish's projected frontrunner: Andrew Miller; the lone lefty in the bunch. Hensley is the only pitcher of the three yet to start a spring game for the Marlins, but manager Fredi Gonzalez has indicated he will try to work him into a minor league game sometime this week.
