Vizquel says this season will likely be his last

[LittleOzzy]

Shortstop Omar Vizquel says he will likely retire after this season.

The 11-time Gold Glove winner is in the Toronto Blue Jays' spring training camp on a minor league deal. He said Thursday that he'd like to be a manager.

Vizquel, who turns 45 on April 24, would be headed into his 24th major league season if he makes the club. Vizquel provided a positive clubhouse influence for the Chicago White Sox the past two seasons and a reliable option off the bench.

The three-time All-Star appeared in 58 games last year, batting .251 with eight RBIs and seven doubles. He is a career .272 hitter in 2,908 games.

Am I the only one that was surprised by "the 3-time all-star..."? I don't know why, but I thought that number would be in the 6-8 range.

defense alone can't get you an allstar spot like that.
