Vazquez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday in Milwaukee.
Scouting Report
Has a very projectable frame for the catching position. Is a talented receiver who also boasts excellent strike-zone judgment and developing power at the plate. Is a leader. Needs to add more bulk in order to be able to withstand the rigors of the catching position over the long haul. Also needs to hit better for average. Injuries are a concern.
Long Range Potential: Solid catcher with a little upside, when healthy.
