Followers of this blog would probably not be shocked if I said that Christian Vazquez is one of my current favorite players on the team. I always have a preference for catchers and Vazquez is a very good defensive catcher. He has also been improving at the plate. So when I saw the new A&G Relic, I grabbed it:
Vazquez had a very good season this year. He started off hot, cooled off significantly, then got it going again in the last few weeks of the season. He ended up hitting .283/.344/.457 with seven home runs and 23 RBIs. It was the best on-base percentage of his career. There is some question about whether he will be traded this offseason. Hopefully that will not happen.
I hope they keep Vazquez too. Most catchers are either good hitters or good catchers, and he seems to be above average in both.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those for trade too...
