keep in mind it does say a “friend” of Vasquez….

have we seen anthing said by the trainer or D-Backs manager that would suggest injury?

I loved El Duque. But, reportedly, he was too much to deal with – only willing to pitch when he felt 100%, moodly in the clubhouse, etc.

I want to see what he’s going to do for a full year in Chicago.

Vazquez acted “squirrely” before his trade to the Yankees, (remember he had to be cajoled to take a physical) so this does not surprise me.

I’m “pissed” (as Giambi would say) that El Duque is gone. After his 2nd half performance last year, I’m not sure there’s anything else he could have done.
