Vazquez whiffs 10, still can't win: White Sox SP Javier Vazquez struck out 10, tying a season-high, and gave up three runs on four hits and two walks in seven innings Monday against the Rangers. He lost his third straight decision, but looked pretty sharp. "Hopefully I'll start rolling from now on," he said. "I felt great." Manager Ozzie Guillen said, "Javy threw the ball unbelievably good. If Vazquez continues to throw the ball good, it will be a great second half for us." (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Vazquez's ERA has taken a hit lately -- he entered with a 6.80 mark over his last seven starts -- but he still has plenty of strikeout potential and the ability to go on the roll he predicts. Think of him as no more than a No. 3 or 4 Fantasy SP right now, but he might develop into a No. 2 option by season's end. His next start is scheduled for Sunday at Detroit. (Updated 07/22/2008).
