Omar Vizquel is probably the best defensive shortstop in the history of baseball and he’s still very good with the glove but he hasn’t been able to help the team at all with his bat. He’s starting to look like he can’t help the Giants anymore and they would be smart to let him go right now so they can see what rookie Emmanuel Burress can do. Vizquel has played in 54 games this season for the Giants and he is 32 for 171 (.187 avg, .472 OPS) with 16 runs scored, 12 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. Burress has been effective when he gets to play and the Giants’ need to see what their young players can do. 23-year old switch hitting Burress has played in 55 games this season for the Giants and he is 35 for 125 (.280 avg, .669 OPS) with 19 runs scored, 7 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. Vizquel might very well be a Hall of Famer some day but the time has appeared to come for him to hang up the spikes.
