Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that the Mets have scouted Javier Vazquez in the Puerto Rican Winter League. He's just one of the many names the Mets are considering as they attempt to fill R.A. Dickey's spot in the rotation, including free agents Shaun Marcum, Carl Pavano and Chris Young and trade possibilities like Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang from the Dodgers. Vazquez, who is considering a comeback, has also been scouted by the Red Sox, Rays, Nationals and Royals. It's been reported that he may wait to make a decision until after he pitches for Puerto Rico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
