Does Vizquel's glove help him break the replacement level?

Xanthan at Beyond the Boxscore looks at how much Omar Vizquel should be worth to us in 2009. Excellent work done here.

Since this is seemingly another building year (albeit, with more potential than last year), I am looking for improvements in certain areas rather than just more wins. Improved defense and improved pitching are the main two. Specifically, improved infield defense on the left side of the infield, increased innings pitched (health!), and better tRA’s/FIP’s from the starters.

Hopefully this will help in more than one category. Mmmmmm, defense!

You all are going to enjoy watching him field... and maybe he'll steal home again too

And when he’s at the plate, you’ll know it’s ok to go get another drink or something like that.

Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
