The White Sox and 11-time Gold Glove infielder Omar Vizquel have agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.75-million contract for 2011. Vizquel, a three-time American League All-Star, hit .276 last season while making starts at third base, second base, shortstop and designated hitter. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, the switch-hitter has posted a .985 career fielding percentage, the highest ever among shortstops with at least 1,000 games played, and his 2,850 games played are the most by a foreign-born player in baseball history. |

Seems like a tad too much money. I say that assuming his stats will decline next year. Not a terrible signing though by any means |

Not a terrible signing though by any means I see what you are saying, though he is a known quantity. Even if he goes belly up like an Aaron Miles type at the plate, he is gonna field 3 positions pretty well and give you a solid effort. Some of it was probably a reward for his work this year with Alexei. |

Memo to Omar Vizquel: CHANGE YOUR JERSEY NUMBER for 2011! #11 is supposed to be retired on the South side! What was wrong with #17? There are other numbers you can wear. PUT THE #11 BACK IN MOTHBALLS! |

You know, SHARK bitching all year about him wearing #11 is enough to make me hate this signing. |

There were guys on The SCORE who also weren't thrilled that Vizquel sported a number THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE RETIRED for Luis Aparicio. #5 is now available, possibly #12 if Anthony John Pierzynski and Paul Konerko's #14 aren't back next year...By the way, I know Alex Rios flipped the #15 he wore in Toronto to #51 here because Gordon Beckham wears #15 here...Vizquel could've flipped the #13 he wore for years to #31! |

He is not wearing #14. Nobody will. That will be retired in 8-10 years. |

Am I the only one who remembers him bitching about not being able to handle being a bench player before Tehan went down? Luckily Ozzie will make him this year's overworked veteran. |

I had a lot of trouble watching Vizquel wearing a number that is supposed to be retired... |
