OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
Virgil Vasquez had a great season with the SeaWolves in 2006 and seems prepared to make a jump to a higher level.
In Erie last season, Virgil racked up 129 strikeouts in 173 innings with a WHIP of 1.29 and 3.73 ERA. Signs of his maturation appeared in the latter part of the SeaWolves season, and great performances in the Arizona Fall League all but assured inclusion on the Tigers 40-man roster.
