Viz-Quelle Surprise! Corder-Uh-Oh!
2012-05-09 20:43:00 I feel for Francisco Cordero. He’s not a very good pitcher right now, and he probably wasn’t last year either, when his peripheral numbers took a nosedive and he got by on smoke and mirrors on his way to 37 saves and a 2.45 ERA that, even a couple of years ago, would have been ...

Giants SS Omar Vizquel could miss start of season; pitchers Kazmir, McCarth
2008-02-27 03:23:00 Omar Vizquel’s ailing knee could keep him out of the San Francisco Giants’ lineup on opening day. Pitchers Scott Kazmir of the Rays and Brandon McCarthy of the Rangers are going slow so they don’t miss any time once the regular seasons starts. Vizquel will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday and ...

Omar Vizquel gets $5.3 Million????
2007-11-10 02:34:00 Omar Vizquel gets $5.3 Million???? Let’s see. A 126 hits, only 25 extra base hits and only 54 runs scored on the season. This is down from 2006, where he collected 171 hits, 36 for extra bases and crossed the plate 88 times. Many will cite defense as the primary reason behind this move. I can buy into that… to a point. The fact of the matter is, the Giants would have no problem going obtaining a no hit, all glove type from another organizations AAA club. The option of grabbing an all glove, over the hill type exists in the free agent market as well. Omar is still top notch with the glove, no question. Player 1 is Omar. Player 2 is our mystery man, low level free agent type (ohhh). 1. 2. One aspect of Omar’s game that gets lost in all of the other stats is his lack of errors. This is certainly a consideration in this example. Outside of that, the range factors and the zone ratings are within the same range. Omar has the better numbers then player #2, but heR...

Odds and Ends: Lowell, Sabathia, Polanco
2007-11-08 22:12:00 I'm going to start up a catch-all Odds and Ends post for smaller rumors and notes today. Refresh to see it grow. A reader emailed me to tell me that Buster Olney said on XM Radio recently that there are talks of the Twins going after Scott Rolen. These reports can be tough to confirm, but there you go. UPDATE: Joe Christensen squashes this one. Mark Feinsand doesn't think Epstein is keen on giving Mike Lowell even a three-year contract. He might get five on the open market. UPDATE: The Red Sox apparently have a three-year offer out to him, and he's still mulling it over. The White Sox inquired about Bill Hall, but Kenny Williams and Doug Melvin couldn't find a match. Baseball America weighs in on the Brad Lidge trade. BP's Nate Silver gives his opinion here and here. He thinks the Phillies made a mistake. The Astros have contacted Jeremy Affeldt's agent. Also, Jim Molony speculates in this piece that speedy Josh Anderson could be...

Braun's Defense Should Cost Him Rookie of the Year
2007-09-28 15:38:00 Milwaukee Brewers 3B Ryan Braun is an amazing hitter. But to call him a butcher on defense is an insult to knife-wielding swine slicers. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to call Braun the worst defensive player of any starter in the Major Leagues.The Brewers lost 9-5 to the San Diego Padres on Thursday, blowing a chance to gain a game on the Chicago Cubs, who had lost earlier in the day. One of the main culprits in the loss was Braun, who committed not one, not two, but three errors at third base.Braun's is fielding is so atrocious, it should be enough for Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to win the National League Rookie of the Year. Will it happen? Probably not. Writers often forget there are two parts to the game and concentrate solely on offensive numbers.And there is no doubt Braun has had an amazing year at the plate, but Tulowitzki isn't that far off. In 440 at-bats, Braun has hit .325/.370/.639, with 24 doubles, 34 HR and 95 RBI. Meanwhile, in 590 at-bats, Tulowitzki h...
Giants Hope To Bring Vizquel Back For '08
2007-09-14 21:20:00 According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, there are "strong indications" that the Giants want Omar Vizquel to man shortstop for them in 2008. Vizquel is earning $4MM this year; perhaps $3MM or so would get it done for next year. Vizquel would like to come back. If his goal is 3,000 hits, though, that will take at least three more seasons. Retaining Vizquel is not what I suggested in my Giants Needs and Luxuries post a few days ago. I understand that Vizquel's sparkling defense helps the pitching staff and his veteran leadership can't be measured. (Though one could make the argument that the pitching staff would be equally if less directly helped by a shortstop with some offensive value). My '08 Giants are committed to rebuilding, and that means giving Omar's 600 plate appearances to a young player. Even if the Giants don't specifically have a shortstop prospect ready to go, they can get more ABs for Kevin Frandsen if Vi...

Vizquel Claimed Off Waivers, Pulled Back
2007-08-20 23:01:00 On August 16th, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark mentioned that Omar Vizquel, among many others, had cleared waivers. Stark's colleague Buster Olney heard differently, however. According to Olney, Vizquel was indeed claimed but no deal was reached and he was withdrawn. Olney believes the Tigers may have made the claim, or perhaps the Indians as a block. Vizquel still doesn't strike out much, but his batting average dipped to .245 this year. He could've helped a contender though. I'm not sure whether the Elias Bureau will rate him a Type A or B free agent after this year, as he was solid in 2006. Here's a look at the updated Players Who Have Cleared Waivers post; Jack Wilson is out there for whoever missed out on Vizquel.

The Legend of Omar Vizquel
2007-06-17 21:57:00 The Cleveland Indians have a tremendous young shortstop in Jhonny Peralta. In only his third full season (with a halfsy and a shortsy) he's hitting .266 with over 50 home runs and over 200 RBI. This season he's already had 12 home runs, 37 RBI and is hitting just under .280. Peralta is actually

Omar Vizquel : Going to Cooperstown?
2007-02-12 02:42:01 Omar Vizquel : Going to Cooperstown? Today we have a special commentary today, from the father of Kman, MR. Kman himself. Is Omar hall of fame worthy? When you think of future major league shortstops making the trip to Cooperstown, New York, the players names that immediately come to mind are Alex as in Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter. Both are physical specimens who we have little problem visualizing performing heroic feats on the baseball diamond. But there is another bona-fide candidate for inclusion with the enshrined elite of the past, and his name is Omar, Omar Vizquel. This physically unassuming shortstop is currently superbly fielding the position for the San Francisco Giants. Granted he is at the tale end of his career, but is a major contributor to his team?s success offensively and defensively. We acknowledge Omar as the only player in major league history who can field a hard hit ground ball with his bare hand and make the seemingly effortless toss to make th...
