Braves_vs_marlins_50b2
With the quarrels of retirement surrounding pitcher Javier Vazquez, the Marlins are hoping that the 35-year old right-hander does not call it quits just yet. Probably just in-case the Marlins do not bring in anyone this offseason. Vazquez started off slow and I remember giving him garbage for his poor play back in the beginning of the 2011 season. However, he finished great down the stretch going 5-0 with a 0.71 ERA. The Palm Beach Post think that a one-year, $10 million deal could sway Vazquez away from retirement.
