Javy Vazquez thinks one bad half-season is no reason for the Yankees to trade him.
And while Vazquez wasn't the reason the deal fell apart, he did make it clear that he isn't particularly interested in playing on the West Coast and likely would demand a trade - as is his right - after one season if he is dealt away from the Bronx.
Although Vazquez was trumpeted as a key piece of the Bombers' future after being acquired from the Expos last winter (and signing a four-year extension), his stock fell after a poor second half of the season.

Javier Vazquez seems to have come strong from his second half of 2004 disaster in New York.

Javy gave up 28 taters in 2003 and 2002, so those numbers already look to be in jeopardy.
Vazquez is also on pace to have his career worst groundball-to-flyball ratio.
So in summation, Vazquez is giving up slightly more homers than his career numbers would suggest, he’s not striking out as many guys and the fewer ground balls he does induce are not being turned into double plays by his defense.

Vazquez had been trying to throw too hard and he was overstriding at the end of his windup and losing precious control of his fastball.
