7/30 @ Mets

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Vaz has matured into a reliable hitter and shows the great arm, he's fun to watch

 

Evolving into a leader... I admit I was worried about his actual catching last season, but all the sign-stealing/sign-changing throughout the league certainly produced its share of cross-ups.

Haven't seen any SOX cutout fans at this game.

Shipping prices -- it's New York. But I bet we see a whole pallet at Baltimore...

They probably refused to leave those great monster seats at Fenway.

Beni noodle arm

 

But he makes up for it with laser like accuracy. He's also too small for the game

[TylerD]

Vaz you’re ridiculous. Wow.

[mvp 78]

Vaz!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ is FAB

[jad]

Love the Mets announcers explaining why they should throw EXACTLY the pitch that Vasquez just hit out.

[vegasbob]

Hell of a catcher with a bat

Beni, Mookie, Vazquez all 5'9"

[jad]

And again, they recommend the fast ball to Chavis.

[mvp 78]

Don’t remember seeing Chavis get on base this year.

Benni why you hurt me . I need you to break this slump. I have your jersey and t shirt.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Beni can still live a pretty work-free life with 10 million in the bank, even after taxes.

[mvp 78]

Ara-ooze seems to be the pronunciation

So it’s your fault....

Best On Base % in history...

Beni, Mookie, Vazquez all 5'9"

 

So, two out of three play over their heads. Just joking about size being the difference but the Sox have played a lot of guys closer to the ground

Surprised the Sox haven't drafted his grandkids with their obsession about players who can't get on the Disneyland rides yet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

sss.

[TylerD]

So it’s your fault....

 

I think so....

SWI, have you got your power back on?

Christian Vazquez contract details:

 

2020 4.517 million AAV

2021 4.517 million AAV

2022 team option 7 million 250 K buyout

Oops. I forgot he's suspended until the SOX lose a game.

Christian Vazquez contract details:

 

2020 4.517 million AAV

2021 4.517 million AAV

2022 team option 7 million 250 K buyout

 

Hope he stays healthy enough for the Sox to exercise that 2022 option when they may actually have a starting rotation worth discussing.

He'd be trade bait on Bloom's Rays, but the Sox have no one close to Vazquez' D/O combo in the pipeline. And I'm not counting Connor Wong, because if he was a legit MLB catching prospect, there'd be no Swihart comps.
