Well, it looks as though I am going against the majority here, but I would rather have Javier Vazquez. Let's think about it........
-Vazquez has pitched great thus far, and is just racking up the K's, while Hudson can't be thought of as a strikeout pitcher
-sure the A's are better than the Expos, but the Expos are no pushovers this year. They are puttin some runs on the board. let's think about it, would you rather have a guy pitching against the Rangers, Mariners, and Angles most of the year, or a guy pitchin against the Braves, Mets, Marlins, and Phils most of the year.
-sure Vazquez was mortal last year, but his stats the year before were incredible. let's not forget that Hudson was absolutely atrocious for much of the midseason last year. Sure, he turned it on late, but I know some of you guys were in leagues where Hudson made it to the waiver wire (because yes, he was that bad).
So once again, I would take Vazquez.
