Vazquez on the block?

Rumors abound that the Homestead Pythons offered the Ybor City Rollers starting pitcher Javier Vazquez in a deal for Todd Helton. Javier, who was one of the first players acquired by the expansion team via a trade with the Accies seemed ambiguous about the rumor. "I thought they really wanted me here," said Vazquez, "But, if they want to trade me that's fine, too. If I get traded to the Rollers, I'll be playing for a title immediately. If I stay here, I can help bring up the young guys. I'll pitch anywhere."
Others felt the deal was just a rumor. "I don't see the Rollers moving Helton for Vazquez," stated one team executive, "I don't see them moving Helton unless a major upgrade comes their way."
