Vizquel agrees to $12.25 mil, 3-year deal w/ SF

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Free agent shortstop Omar Vizquel has agreed to terms on a $12.25 million, three-year contract with the San Francisco Giants, a person close to the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity.

Vizquel, a nine-time Gold Glove winner, becomes the first of 207 free agents to join a new team, and the second to sign overall after Texas reliever Doug Brocail returned to the Rangers on Friday on a $1 million, one-year deal.

The 37-year-old Vizquel, one of baseball's best defensive shortstops and a switch-hitter, batted .291 (165-for-567) with seven homers and 59 RBIs last season for the Cleveland Indians. He also scored 82 runs, stole 19 bases and did not commit an error over the last 55 games.

Vizquel filed for free agency last month after the Indians declined to pick up his $5 million option for 2005. Vizquel had said he wanted to return for a 12th season in Cleveland, where he grew into one of the franchise's most popular players, but the Indians said his return would be ``a long shot.'' General manager Mark Shapiro's priority this offseason is pitching.

They're giving up their first round pick for him. I'm not sure I would have done that.

The signing of Vizquel doesn't make any sense. They have the future at SS (Cody Ransom) and already signed Deivi Cruz. 3-years may be a bit too long for Vizquel considering Ransom will probably be ready when Vizquel plays his 1st game in a Giants uniform and when his contract expires.

The AL is not better. And how can you use all star games to support your argument? The All Star rosters don't include the best players, just the biggest names.

As much as I absolutely can not stand the son-of-a-bitches, as much as I absolutely have unlimted, unconditional passionate hatred for them, as much as I absolutely despise them, as much as I absolutely just f*cking hate them. The Yankees are the 2nd best team in baseball (or possibly 3rd at worst).

The American League is better.
