Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo is in Puerto Rico Thursday to watch Javier Vazquez pitch. Vazquez's general manager, Alex Cora, tweeted that the right-hander hit 95 mph on his 83rd pitch. The Nats are one of a handful of teams that have scouted Vazquez, but they don't make much sense as a landing spot given that they already have five viable starters. ESPN's Jim Bowden reports that more than half of the 30 teams have shown interest in Vazquez, who is expected to decide after the World Baseball Classic whether he'll make a comeback in 2013. If he does return, it's expected to be for a contender.
