Veteran right-hander Javier Vazquez is contemplating a comeback after sitting out the 2012 season, reports Peter Gammons of MLB.com:

Alltime good person Javy Vazquez will pitch for Ponce after Thanksgiving, Puerto Rico in WBC and see if he wants to come back

Vasquez, 36, pitched well for the Marlins in 2011, posting a 3.69 ERA and 7.6 K/9 across thirty-two starts, but decided to throw in the towel so that he could spend time with his family in Puerto Rico. Now that a season has passed, however, Vazquez will give baseball another go this winter to see if he wants to return for a full MLB season.

If Vazquez pitches well in the World Baseball Classic, teams could view him as this year's Andy Pettitte and jump at signing him to a one-year contract. The fourteen-year major-league veteran owns a career 4.22 ERA, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in over twenty-eight hundred innings pitched in his career.
