The Yankees are relentless. While many teams seem happy with their purchases, the Yankees continue to improve in sending the Dominican Melky Cabrera and two more players to the Braves for pitcher Javier Vazquez and reliever Boone Logan. Vazquez is the second former Yankee who returns to the team after he also made by Nick Johnson in the Bronx.
In Vazquez, the Yankees put together a quality rotation has no jurisdiction. Four solid starters in CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Andy Pettitte and Vazquez. For fifth to take Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain, pitching than any other team would fight to have.
The Yankees fans are very critical and they know the history of their club. There will be questions about the second half of the 2004 campaign in which Vazquez defeats. However, since then life Vazquez on the mound has been much better, while your ability to add both innings without injury helps win games and rest the bullpen.
The 2009 was perhaps the best year in the race Vazquez, who was a different pitcher. There were changes in how they pitch that led to a higher level. He used his slider more than ever, and how to mix his changeup and curve left her badly a few National League hitters. Vazquez relied heavily on his fastball than in 2009, becoming a complete pitcher.
If you can maintain the same level with these adjustments, will be very welcomed in New York. He has four quality pitches and his curve has improved, making it less likely to provide pitches for home runs. You can not expect that Vazquez has the same effectiveness in the American League, much less throwing in the east, but with the support team offensive champion of the World Series, no problems are looming for 'Javi'.
