Vizquel, 43, gets another year with Chisox
CHICAGO, -- Forty-three-year-old infielder Omar Vizquel will be back with the Chicago White Sox next season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Sox said they had agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the 11-time Gold Glove winner, under which he will make $1.75 million in 2011.
Only Ozzie Smith with 13 has won more Gold Gloves at shortstop than Vizquel. The 22-year veteran hit .276 with two home runs and 30 runs batted in 108 games with the White Sox last season.
Among his accomplishments, Vizquel has played more games at shortstop than any other player in major league history and sports a .985 career fielding percentage there, the highest ever by any shortstop with at least 1,000 games played.
