Vasquez to start Sunday
posted in 2007 season, roster moves |With Jeremy Bonderman unable to go his scheduled turn Sunay, the Tigers called up Virgil Vasquez from Toledo. I’ve been on that bandwagon for awhile, although I did think Andrew Miller would get a spot start Sunday, Vasquez is the guy I pegged to replace Chad Durbin.
Vasquez has 50 strikeouts in 40 innings, a 4-2 record and 2.88 ERA. His most recent starter against Twins affiliate Rochester, he allowed three runs and struck out nine. He’s had eight, nine, nine and 10 strikeout games already this season.
Sunday’s nationally televised game on ESPN will be the major league debut for the 24-year-old.
