Javier Vasquez

Did I miss something? Has Vasquez pitched like a 10-figure per year pitcher the past two seasons?

He has not, at least if being a 10-figure pitcher means being Top 10 in any positive pitching categories.

In the real world something has not translated to Roto. Assuming all three players were protectable (Vasquez <$13, Vizcaino <$3, El Duque <$3 and Young a drafted farm player), no one would turn down El Duque, Vizcaino and Young for Vasquez.

Personally, I wouldn't have traded Young for Vasquez straight-up. 200 inning starting pitchers with ERAs near 4.50 have no place on my team. Nevermind that his ERA will likely go up pitching to 9-man line-ups and in a hitter-friendly home ballpark.
