The Yankees acquired Javier Vazquez


The Yankees again triggered the trigger. They won the World Series title last and what they are thinking is another. According to press reports from New York, the Yankees just acquired pitcher Javier Vazquez, in a transaction with the Atlanta Braves, who will receive, among others, the Dominican Melky Cabrera.

Not the first time that Vazquez is placed traditional striped uniforms. In 2004 he was in the Big Apple and even ended with a slightly higher ERA-4.91-winner left with balance 14-10, and most importantly, had a WHIP-average men to reach base for the inning-he 1.28 , a solid figure.



With the Atlanta Braves, Vazquez pitched in 2009 what might be considered his best performance in the majors, with a record of 15-10, ERA of 2.87-the lowest of his career and a WHIP of 1.02, also best of his career.

Vazquez, a right no injury prone, has launched more than 200 innings in nine of the last 10 seasons and is probably located as fourth in the Yankees rotation, a luxury for any team, even more so considering that it comes to become the fourth in voting for the Cy Young of the National.

With CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Andy Pettitte and Vazquez, the Yankees rotation form a super solid granite and could once again be the anchor that drives the bow of the Yankees, heading to a new World Series.
