context_page_description: Javier Carlos Vázquez is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball starting pitcher. He played for the Florida Marlins, Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Yankees, and Montreal Expos.
context_section_description: On December 22, 2009 the New York Yankees re-acquired Vázquez, this time from the Braves with LHP Boone Logan, in exchange for OF Melky Cabrera, LHP Mike Dunn and pitching prospect Arodys Vizcaíno.  At this time he was thought of as "one of the top starters in all of baseball" after what was thought of as being one of the best if not the best statistical seasons by a pitcher in 2009.
  On July 21, 2010 he became the third active pitcher to beat all 30 MLB teams along with Barry Zito and Jamie Moyer.  After struggling in August, the Yankees temporarily demoted Vázquez to the bullpen.
  In his final appearance of the season, Vázquez came in in relief against the Rays and proceeded to hit three batters in a row (tying a big-league record), while the Rays went on to score two runs on no hits. Javier Vázquez finished the regular season with a 10–10 win-loss record and an ERA of 5.32.
  Due to his struggles in the regular season, the Yankees once again demoted Vázquez to the bullpen for him to be on the postseason roster. The Yankees won the 2010 ALDS against the Minnesota Twins in 3 games, but lost to the Texas Rangers in the 2010 ALCS in 6 games. Vázquez was released after the season was over.
