Nick Johnson
1 January 2010
bsp; Not standing pat after the Curtis Granderson acquisition, the Bronx Bombers first brought back Nick Johnson to replace Hideki Matsui as Designated Hitter and then bolstered their rotation, adding another Cy Young candidate in Javier Vazquez (15-10, 2.87 E.R.A., 1.026 WHIP in 2009) who they took off the hands of the Atlanta Braves. Vazquez’s 238 strikeouts were second only to Tim Lincecum’s 261 among National League pitchers. GM Brian Cashman and the rest of the front office are making a strong statement as they attempt to defend their first World Series championship since 2000.
