    Li'l "O" to play in 2012

    That is if he makes a team.

    CLEVELAND (AP)—Omar Vizquel(notes) isn’t ready to retire at age 44.

    The veteran shortstop said Wednesday that he still loves the game, believes he can continue performing at a good level and intends to play for some team in 2012

    “I can’t wait for spring training—wherever it may be,” said Vizquel, nearing the end of his second one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.

    Vizquel intends to return for a 24th major league season in 2012. He would be the 20th in history to play that long—Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan and Cap Anson share the record at 27 seasons apiece.
    I don't see why he can't make some team. He is a + quality glove, good tutor and a great utility fill in for travel days to rest a veteran infielder. Makes me wonder if my favorite player will last longer in MLB then me period.

    Good for him. Definitely not a starter but he is sure to find a role on some team. Great guy to have on your team.

    He is not a regular indeed. But he could make some spot starts or step in later in the game as a middle infielder. His defense is still good.
