ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Omar Vizquel is going to spring training with the Texas Rangers, who want him to mentor 20-year-old shortstop Elvis Andrus.
An 11-time Gold Glove winner, the 41-year-old Vizquel agreed to a minor league deal Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Vizquel might become a utility infielder for the Rangers, but his biggest contribution could be helping in the development of Andrus. Texas is moving five-time All-Star shortstop Michael Young, a Gold Glove winner last year, to third base to make room for Andrus, who has never played above Double-A.
