      He never showed up for Spring Training. I think Family Issues had something to do with it.

    Don’t think he ever reported. Pretty sure he opted to retire.

    Ramon Vazquez? Now you’re just TRYING to make me feel old. Someone needs to put together a Best Week Ever-style show with former prospects and call it “Hey, Remember When You Were A Thing?”

      …which Would[?] put Them Bones Down In A Hole (in a Nutshell). So Don’t Follow. :D

      Seriously, that is not a pretty walk rate. Hopefully he can fix his delivery and put himself back together…Again. 0:)
