The only thing I will never understand is why people blame him for 04. The red sox had so much momentum going into that game 7 and Vasquez came in with the bases loaded nobody out down by two thanks to kevin brown it was a really tough position for a young pitcher to be in. When your team loses a series they were up 3-0 you have to blame the entire team because other than matsui and sheffield nobody was stepping it up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073569164391147206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029859132463148676.post-1669162871531295032009-12-22T18:28:16.903-05:002009-12-22T18:28:16.903-05:00Great deal...Vazquez was hurt that second half, an...Great deal...Vazquez was hurt that second half, and he is only a number four for us. He has a one year deal, so we don't have anymore long term contracts precluding us from signing Cliff Lee, Joe Mauer, Carl Crawford etc. Also, he'll be a Type A free agent, so we will get good picks back for him, replenishing our system from this and the Granderson trade.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838784049328032747noreply@blogger.com
