Expos Watch 2003

Since Major League Baseball President Bob DuPuy was again quoted as stating that MLB is trying to move the Montreal Expos as soon as possible -- and Portland is one of the two leading geographic areas for the relocation -- meaning the Expos might "Play Ball" in Portland as soon as next season, we want to make sure and do everything we can to start supporting our potential home team... so we bring you the Expos Watch.

Expos Player Profile

Javier Vazquez
Coming off a stellar 2001 season in which he went 9-2 with a 1.60 ERA after the All-Star break, Javy was a workhorse for the Expos last season, as he finished fourth in the National League in innings pitched (230.1) and ninth in strikeouts (179). Additionally, he led the Expos in starts (34) and was one of the four hurlers on the team with double-digit wins (10). A fourth-round pick of the Expos in the 1994 draft, Javy already has five major-league seasons under his belt. He made his debut with Montreal in 1998, despite pitching just six games above Single-A, after going 24-6 in his two previous seasons. After winning just five games in his rookie year, Javy has posted 46 wins over the last four seasons.

An established veteran with nearly 1,000 innings pitched in the majors, the 26-year old has an impressive array of pitches. He features a low-90's fastball, and is very effective changing speeds, with two breaking balls and a changeup. Javy has excellent control of his pitches and further helps himself by being both a good fielder and a surprisingly good hitter for a pitcher.
