jackie hayes Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Javy Vazquez has asked Arizona to trade him to an East Coast team, citing how far he is from his family. He can specify 6 teams he doesn't want to be traded to. Another somewhat prominent name available for someone's rotation. Orioles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm sure glad that deal didn't go down for him to come to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok so this means Josh Byrnes is really gonna be after some more starting pitching now. At the moment they have Webb, Ortiz, Halsey and Vargas. Not exactly front - line material. At least they'll be able to save some salary though.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We ought to trade Jon Garland, Joe Crede, and Aaron Rowand. Then turn around and use him to get Randy Johnson... We'll win the world series for sure... Hell throw in Jose Contreas just for the hell of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I don't know how much they will be able to get for him unless they eat some of his contract. With his request some teams might just wait for him to become an FA. If the Orioles do get him watch out. Vazquez + Mazzone = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Well, if you asked Jas in February, there was no way we weren't getting an overpriced pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think you'll see the O's make the major push for him. Just spitballing here, but, I think this is a very logical rotation for 06': Burnett (They'll pay him and his wife's family is from the area, expressed some desire to play there during the trade-deadline) Vazquez (Why not? It makes perfect sense. They need an upper-tier starting pitcher and Vazquez certainly has the stuff) Lopez Chen Cabrera All of a sudden, the O's have a respectable rotation. Will it be enough to compete for the divison? I'm not sure; but, those two additions would certainly help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be enough to compete for the divison? I'm not sure; but, those two additions would certainly help. I don't see Burnett coming to the O's. The Orioles are notoriously gunshy about giving pitchers long deals, and Ponson couldn't have improved that attitude any. That's why I see Vazquez being a good fit -- only 2 more years on the deal, a reasonable salary (about $12 mil per), and a history of success. The Orioles also seem to have some players that could make a deal attractive -- a deal centered around Hayden Penn makes sense to me. You have a respectable first 4, then you hope Mazzone can work his magic with the next Jaret Wright, and you're ready to play. Then the O's can focus on signing a bat, which is the only signing they really seem to enjoy, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I sorta doubt Vazquez regrets coming here. I think he wants to be a Florida Marlin for the commute. Decent shot he would have exercised the trade option if he came here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
