Former CT Tiger Danry Vasquez Traded To Houston For Reliever Jose Veras

Connecticut Tigers' 2012 player of the year OF Danry Vasquez was traded by the Detroit Tigers to the Houston Astros today for Houston's closer Jose Veras (who had 19 saves thus far with Houston.) Vasquez was recently voted Detroit's #4 prospect. The trade will probably accelerate Danry's career as he will have a much better shot of cracking the lineup of the rebuilding Astros. So far in 2013 with Low A West Michigan Vasquez was hitting .281-5-39. Good luck Danry with your new organization.
