Volquez, Harang, Cueto staying on four days' rest.

He is going to run the young arms into the ground before the season is over.

Actually, I think Baker has been good keeping the pitch count low. I am pretty sure the max that Volquez and Cueto have gone is about a 100.

I think you are right, but I wonder how much of that has to do with the fact that we are usually already way behind by the time they get up to the 100 pitch count mark. Time will tell I guess.
