 Giants add some polish at short / Nine-time Gold Glover Vizquel signs for three years, $12.25 million

Vizquel is the first free agent to change teams this offseason and will get $2.5 million in 2005, $4 million in 2006, $4 million in 2007 and deferred payments of $1 million in 2008 and $750,000 in 2009.

 The Morning Journal - COMMENTARY: Attitude keeps Omar with Tribe
Vizquel is not only the greatest defensive shortstop in Indians' history, he certainly must be considered one of the two or three greatest defensive shortstops in baseball history.
Vizquel and Smith are and were as impactful on games with their defense as are and were virtually any sluggers in the game's history.
That Vizquel does not get to as many balls in the field as he once did is evidenced by the fact that his 640 total chances last year -- which ranked just fourth among the league's shortstops -- were his second lowest total for a full season since 1992.

 Sports Central | Sports Articles and Columns | MLB | Omar Vizquel Poised to Save the Bay
Omar has always fallen under the bridge of popularity and marketability, beneath the one-time trio of young shortstops who dominated the balloting of the All-Star Games: Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Nomar Garciaparra.
This past season, Omar batted.291 primarily in the number two spot for the Indians, who won the American League pennant in both 1995 and 1999 during his tenure with Cleveland.
Omar is the polar opposite, whose on-field demeanor is that of Bambi, and his clutch hitting mixed with fellow sluggers Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle, Sandy Alomar, Jr., and Jim Thome helped make the Tribe one of the most potent batting lineups of recent history.

 Philosopher Stone: Omar, Ozzie, and Others
The argument in Omar's favor follows a common pattern: "Person X is in, Person Y is comparable, so Person Y should get in too." In this case, Person X is Ozzie Smith, and Person Y is Omar Vizquel.
Omar has only garnered votes in one year, 1999, when he came in 16th in the vote.
But for now my view is that Omar is likely not going to be elected to the Hall of Fame (unless perhaps through the veterans committee many years from now), and I don't think he should be elected either.

Vizquel's delightful sense of humor is evident when he explains that as a child he had always assumed that Batman and the Sesame Street characters he watched on television were Venezuelan and was shocked upon coming here and finding that the characters spoke English.
Vizquel's many asides to readers ("more on that next chapter-") are annoying and his digressions on fake grass and Astroturf, Cleveland's odor, the state of his baldness, and the number of vacuum cleaners or refrigerators in his house are more intrusive than informative.
Omar Vizquel has been my favorite player since I first saw him beat out a bunt base hit as a Seattle Mariner when I was fifteen.

 Outstanding In His Field - Cleveland Indians shortstop Omar Vizquel Baseball Digest - Find Articles
Vizquel's.982 fielding percentage entering the 2001 season is the highest in history for shortstops with 1,000 games, and he has yet to sully that mark by committing only three errors last season in 156 games and 648 total chances.
In Omar's pantheon of great plays, he reserves a spot near the top for the last out in Chris Bosio's no-hitter when he played for Seattle, tile highlight staple in which he barehanded a chopper over the mound and groined down the runner.
Quietly, Vizquel has become an offensive force, which would surprise those who pegged him as a classic no-hit, great-field guy early in his career with the Mariners, before he was shipped to Cleveland for Felix Fermin and Reggie Jefferson in another of those Mariner deals that make Seattle fans cringe.
