Vizquel says he plans to keep playing

The oldest position player in the major leagues is planning to play another season.

Rangers utility infielder Omar Vizquel says he feels good physically and “better take advantage” of how he feels.

The 42-year-old Vizquel is wrapping up his 21st major league season, his first in Texas, where he served primarily as a mentor to rookie shortstop Elvis Andrus and a part-time player. He went into the Rangers’ final home game Sunday hitting .266 in 59 games, with 43 starts—21 at shortstop, 14 at second base and eight at third.

Vizquel, an 11-time Gold Glove shortstop whose 2,702 hits are the most by a Venezuelan native, becomes a free agent after the season.
