JAVY VAZQUEZ TO THE MF YANKEES
MFY acquired Javy Vazquez for Nick "the stick" Johnson, Juan Rivera and another player.
My first thought was SHIT; couldn't they just sign fat ass Colon. My second thought was what to do with my photo with Javy. SHIT. He seemed like a really nice guy. He tried numerous times to answer and demonstrate the various types of balks to a fan. Javy has more patience than I. I butted in and asked him to demonstrate the different grips on his pitches. It is going to be hard for me to hate him.
The deal is fair. Nick Johnson is sick and cheap. Rivera is a tweener - not good enough for center but can't hit enough to play a corner – but cheap as well. Now, it appears that the Sheffield deal is final. The MFY are waiting to announce the deal next week, in hope that the Braves to do offer Shef arbitration. It seems likely that Lofton will also be inked next week which gives the MFY Lofton flanked by Matsui and Bernie or Shef with the odd man out as the DH. SHIT - maybe Cameron instead of Lofton - SHIT.
