Omar Vizquel Retirement Rumors: Done after 2010?

By Allan

Omar VizquelAccording to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times this season may be Omar Vizquel’s last one.

“It’s hard to play in the role that I am when you’re used to playing every day,” Vizquel insisted. “It’s hard preparation, sometimes you feel disappointed, sometimes you’re sad. Your mental process is different. You take different ways to prepare and I don’t know if I can do it another year. I could probably do it because physically I feel pretty good, but mentally it takes a toll on your body. It makes you doubt sometimes. I don’t think I want to go through that process again.”

Vizquel could change his mind.

“I have to finish this season pretty strong, and if I feel like I finish the way I really want to I might give it a thought to go another year,” Vizquel added.

Vizquel, 43, is in his 21st season in the Big Leagues mostly with the Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants. He had a part time role in the last two seasons with the Texas Rangers and the Chciago White Sox.
