Vazquez Poised For Big Season

White Sox right-hander Javier Vazquez has been talking more confidently in training camp this year, and seems to believe that he is poised for a big season.

Vazquez cites his frequent changes of address -- which brought him into contact with differing pitching coaches and philosophies -- as the main reason for his struggles in recent seasons. Now, he’ll have the chance to begin his second consecutive season with one club for the first time since 2003. Will it be enough to make a difference? Given his baffling inconsistency since establishing himself as one of baseball’s best young pitchers with the Expos, it’s possible that the comfort factor really is a big deal to Vazquez. Regardless of how much stock you put into that theory, it’s worth investing in a 30-year-old pitcher with an impressive career ratio of 3.2 strikeouts per walk.
