Vazquez is going to have to be very careful with former Yankee, Bobby Abreu, who owns a .297/.369/.757 line against him (look at that power) over 84 plate appearances. If Vazquez pitches well today, I’m sure we’ll see an assortment of articles out tomorrow documenting how great Francisco Cervelli is (I’m calling it), even though Vazquez made some strides in his previous start and could be on the cusp of a dominant performance.
And, for your listening pleasure, we have Javier Vasquez’s “Y Su Salsa.”
