Vasquez was awful first time around with the Yankees and he was much younger. He was an average NL pitcher last year so that translates into below average in the AL east Please no NL pitchers in the AL East please.

He's also a perennial 200 inning guy and a strikeout pitcher. And something tells me he's going to enjoy playing for Girardi much more than for Torre. But is Brett Gardner now their starting Left Fielder? And if this deal is indeed done? The payroll is very close to that 200 mil threshold. So withstanding all the "seers" and "anonymous drone" insiders pushing the eventual Holliday signing, can we at least admit that this trade probably just killed that possibility. Please?

He had the best year of his career in 2009 and now he’s entering his walk year. He’s also a perennial 200 inning guy and a strikeout pitcher.

And something tells me he’s going to enjoy playing for Girardi much more than for Torre.

But is Brett Gardner now their starting Left Fielder?

And if this deal is indeed done?

The payroll is very close to that 200 mil threshold.

So withstanding all the “seers” and “anonymous drone” insiders pushing the eventual Holliday signing, can we at least admit that this trade probably just killed that possibility. Please?

Maybe if we all say & think Vazquez part 2 will be a suck-quel, he'll prove us wrong. First Nick "DL" Johnson and now this? Is Cash trying to recreate the Boston Massacre those guys missed out on? Can anyone say innings eater? can’t even see him doing that well.
