Posted on March 20, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Javier Vazquez's 2010 return to the Bronx wasn't just bad because his fastball lost all of its pop, it was also bad because the Yankees gave up a promising prospect in RHP Arodys Vizcaino to land him. Vizcaino had a good fastball, a strong curve, and a very solid K/BB ratio (4.10 in four seasons in ...

The Yankees aren't at all interested in bringing him back, but that hasn't stopped other teams from being interested. The Nationals, Rockies, Braves, ...

That isn't the case, in some ways Eiland was the biggest problem the 2010 Yankees faced. Eiland joined the team at the end ...
