Prediction: Nick Johnson, All-Star. (well, probably not at 1B in the NL)

If Vasquez continues his current path, the Rich get f*cking Richer. Big f*cking surprise. :mad:

Vazquez in Yankee pinstripes--I can't wait for Yankee baseball summer 2004!!!

Me neither. I can't wait to see him adjust that big cup bulge after every pitch. ESPN was showing highlights of him and they obviously couldn't find any non-crotch grabbing footage. Oh yeah, the guy is a pretty damn good pitcher and will be even better on this powerhouse yankees team. go yanks.

Great news for the Good Guys!! I think Vazquez is far more a sure thing than Bartolo Colon, and is a decade younger than Curt Schilling. A Latino pitcher who does well in New York is guaranteed big bucks. I'm really sorry to see Nick Johnson go, I think he's gonna contend for a batting title in a few years, but Vazquez should be worth it. Now we just need to re-sign Pettitte.

Steinbush is apparently back to calling all the personnel moves for Satan's Team... just like in the '80s. Let's hope the World's Most Obnoxious Franchise enjoys similar "suck-cess" this decade.

Javier Vazquez will be getting a ton of money thrown at him to keep him a New York Yankee.

But as we approach the New Year my only concern is have the Yankees ordered Javier's new uniform. Will his uniform pants be snug enough so that Javier will have to resort back to chuggin on his crotch after each pitch? As a Mets fans in the NL East with the Expos, I certainly have had my share of enjoyment watching Javier's routine over the years. Now I'll be seeing him more than ever. I wonder will his routine bother Steinbrenner?
