The Javier Vazquez vs. Melky Cabrera thread

[Kingdom]

Sadly, we have to compare this in increments as Javy goes every 5 days, or games, or whatevers. So.

It's 04/14/2010,


Vazquez: 0-2, 9.82 ERA, 12 ER, 9 k's, 5 walks

Cabrera: .103 average, .350 OPS


Right now, it's dead even, in a sense that neither has done jack. Stay tuned.

Dude, Juan Pierre wants back his throwing arm.

That throw looked a lot like most of Vazquez's starts in the first half. I think he wanted to show the world he could be a pitcher.

Yes. Don't you just love it when elitist NY fans react to just about any fairly talented player on the move by saying, "I wouldn't mind having him on my team. He'll fit right in" and then the experiment blows up for their team?

Well, Javy has certainly settled down a bit. I think the Yankees can definitely take the victory on this one...that 85+ OPS sure stings.

I completely re-tract the Vazquez statement. It applies to AJ Burnett. I love me some AJ Burnett.

I am waiting for Kerry Wood's arm to fly into the stands after a pitch. Great thing to remember, in a tight game in the postseason, to get to Mariano Rivera, they send out Kerry Wood and Joba Chamberlain. It gives us all a little hope.

They can take the victory on the trade, but it ultimately wasn't that good for them either. Not after last season, when he received Cy Young votes. You take away his first half, and Burnett's entire season, they'd have a nice division lead. Now it's Dustin Moseley time.

[browntown653]

Eh, if not for Vazquez it would have been Moseley time a ways ago.
