Marlins Sign Javier Vazquez

Vazquez is joining FLA

The Florida Marlins have agreed to a 1-year deal with veteran hurler Javier Vazquez. Vazquez spent 2010 with the New York Yankees, where he had his worst seasons in years with a 5.32 ERA in over 150 innings.  The Yankees acquired him from the Atlanta Braves after Javier had a whopping 2.87 ERA in 219.1 innings with a tremendous 238 strike-outs in that span.  This is a terrific deal by Florida, buying low on a pitcher who will return to the same division as 2009 and will be a cornerstone in their rotation for next year. By far the best deal so far of the 2011 off-season
