omar vizquel

[reillymcshane]

what about Omar Vizquel as our back up middle infielder. dude can't hit much - maybe get .250-270 BA without any power. But he was always good with the glove. He's 45. Anyone watch him much last year? Is he toast? just curious.

 

Everyone wants a guy who can hit and field - so do I - but if he can do both well, then he's a starter somewhere and getting paid as such.

 

So, realistically, who can we get to handle the back up infielder job - 2B, SS - at a reasonable price.

 

omar is just a thought.

I wouldn't mind it but I dont know if you can depend on the guy either. He is ten years older than Gonzalez and people complain about his age. I think he would be a good back up to have though.

Since Nick Punto signed with Boston, Vizquel's a guy I've been thinking about a lot. I'm less concerned about his age than his ability to deliver as a member of the team.

 

If he can still start at SS in stretches and have a BA in the Kotsay range, that would seem to be a plus move.
