Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Javier Vazquez to the Yankees

Who says you can’t go home again?

爸我回來了

The Yankees brought back a player from their past yesterday, acquiring Javier
Vazquez & Boone Logan in exchange for Melky Cabrera, Mike Dunn & Arodys
Vizcaino (as well as some cash). While there’s some potential in the package
Atlanta received, this deal clearly appears to be a move to improve the team’
s financial flexibility, allowing them the flexibility to attempt to add a
bat (which, rumor has it, will be Troy Glaus).

勇士丟ACE省錢補棒子。

That is a story for another day, however. What’s important here is the
Yankees and their ability to add a pitcher that would be the ace or number
two on most teams, but here slides in as the fourth starter. He’s been
durable, pitching at least 198 innings every season since 2000, as well as
sporting a K/9 above 8.01 every season since 2005.

耐操、實用、拼第一。

I’m sure people want to point to his failures pitching for the Yankees back
in 2004, when he went 14-10 with a 4.91 ERA and 150 Ks. It was a down season,
especially in the strikeout department, though thinking he can’t get it done
in the AL or in New York would be a mistake. Let’s not forget about his
stint with the White Sox from 2006-2008 where he posted strikeout totals of
184, 213 and 200. Plus, his time in New York was limited, so I wouldn’t draw
any certainties from it.

過去在洋基有不好經驗，尤其是三振下滑，不過樣本太少。

His key is going to be keeping opponents driving the ball into the ground.
 From 2003-2008 he had just one season posting a fly ball rate of under 40%,
but last year saw the number fall to 34.8%. If he can maintain that the
impact of the new Yankee Stadium may not be huge, but I wouldn’t hold out
hope for that. Left-handed hitters took him deep 14 times last season and
considering the dimensions of the Yankee Stadium, he could have problems.

在新洋基球場維持與去年一樣的飛球率為上策。但去年被左打幹14發的他，搭配上
新洋基球場的右外野...ㄎㄎ。

All it means is that you are going to have a pitcher with an ERA probably
right around 4.00 to go along with plenty of strikeouts and wins. Is anyone
really going to complain about that? While he’s got to be downgraded a
little bit, he’s still surely a pitcher that you want to own.

雖然他的ERA可能會變為4左右，但是他還是各家GM想要的傢伙。

As for the haul the Braves got, it’s underwhelming for 2010. Cabrera brings
little to the table, even if he is given regular at bats. He’s a short-term
fill-in, at best, even in five outfielder formats. There’s just no real
power or speed potential.

Melky是假貨。

The bright spot is Vizcaino, though he is still a ways away from making an
impact.  He was ranked by Baseball America as the Yankees third best prospect
with a fastball that reaches 96 and a curveball that “is second only to A.J.
Burnett’s in the organization”. He is just 19-years old, however, though he
posted a 2.13 ERA and 52 strikeouts in 42 innings last season. He’s a name
to watch, but he’s not about to make an impact any time soon.

Vizcaino是好貨，但是離MLB太遠。

What are your thoughts on the deal? How do you see Vazquez performing in the
new Yankee Stadium? Do you see any potential in what the Braves received?

這樁交易誰得利？來，立宏哩公跨賣。

推 burdette:我預期他去洋基之後 被打爆的機會會大增
推 burdette:洋基的主球場應該是打者有利的球場
→ jdtrue:是對power hitter有力的球場沒錯  但去年的park factor結果
→ jdtrue:是說新球場是投手球場喔 ^_<
→ jayin07:我不覺得單看pf一年很準
→ jayin07:他是仿前球場做出來的，所以照道理
→ jayin07:它絕對會是個left hander favor的地方
→ jayin07:但是對於他的HR係數還要多多觀察
→ jayin07:這個球場雖然開季都嚇到大家了
→ jayin07:可是從季初的前兩個月HR係數高達1.66
→ jayin07:到後來一路下修變為1.2出頭
→ jayin07:今年Metrodome都可以變打者球場咧XD...
推 aultra:NL轉AL 而且還是轉美東 完全不會想選
推 jdtrue:黑啊  所以目前拿去年數據來說新洋基球場到底對誰有利實在
→ jdtrue:還很遠  去年是很詭異地2B跟3B都被吸到球場外面了
→ jdtrue:而且被吸得太誇張導致整年的PF都小於1了
推 choco1202:不會早選+1  感覺有點抖XD  到是鳥王應該會被更早選走!!

推 mjfang:樓上 鳥王明年搞不好 GS=CG .........
推 KennyKuo:在洋基當投手，ERA=4.5還是可以拿15勝左右啊...
→ KennyKuo:只要他是連續四局一局各掉一分都沒關係，就怕一局爆!!
→ KennyKuo:能吃200局外送200K的第四號先發，這樣的水準很棒了!!!
推 aultra:那是以洋基的立場講很棒 以FB來講 他的順位 你選來是要當
→ aultra:前三號用的 如果花了前面幾輪 去選個ERA4.5的四號先發
→ aultra:這就不值得啦
→ Dorasaga:結果內文不關Vazquez的事 XD
推 maikxz:平均數據不要太扯很容易平衡掉 但像是W L SO累積性的就有差
→ maikxz:這種中間的SP當然要挑容易取勝球隊XD 只是順位不會太好...
