Sox sign Vizquel

Kenny Williams made another interesting move by signing 42-year-old Omar Vizquel. The eleven-time Gold Glove winner should help the White Sox infield that committed 113 errors last season, even if it is from the bench. Vizquel did manage to hit .266 with the Rangers last season and his ability to be a player-coach should have some impact on the White Sox, unfortunately he still isn't the lead-off man the Sox need to sign. However, he could have a huge impact on Alexi Ramirez, similar to the impact he had on Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus. Vizquel, who's from Venezeula, also cited the team's long history of Venezeulan shortstops as part of the reason he wanted to become a Sox.
