JAVIER VAZQUEZ RUMORS

Yankees scouting profile: Jose Ramirez

Jose Ramirez is often remembered as the reason the Yankees were so willing to part ways with Arodys Vizcaino in the trade for Javier Vazquez (still bitter about that one). In 2010 it looked like the Yankees gave the Braves the wrong prospect, as Ramirez hit a wall and Vizcaino shot up the prospect rankings. Then the Braves made Vizcaino a reliever, where he proceeded to blow out...

The Dumber-than-Marcels: Free Agent Starters

My first run-through of the dumber-than-Marcel projections for position players left me quite skeptical of the top-line free agents. Now I’ve done the pitchers, my sense is that once again it’s the middle-class free agents who will offer better value. These projections are based on a 3/2/1/2 regressed weighted average of pitcher value stats, a 50-50 split of Fangraphs and...

Marlins Courting Vazquez to Return

Marlins hoping Javier Vazquez does not depart

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...
