From MLB.com...
Vazquez, 32, reportedly will earn $4 million in the deal and is Pittsburgh's first Major League free agent pickup since the end of the season. He spent the past two seasons as a backup infielder for Texas and for now projects to the same role in Pittsburgh, though that could change if the team were to deal shortstop Jack Wilson or second baseman Freddy Sanchez, two players discussed at the Winter Meetings this week.
In eight big league seasons with five teams, Vazquez is a .257 hitter with 21 home runs and 160 RBIs. He has experience at all four infield positions but mostly has appeared in the field as a shortstop, playing there in 247 games, including 183 of his 446 career starts.
Very interesting. Too bad it likely won't matter one bit.
