Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Veteran shortstop Omar Vizquel, an 11-time Gold Glove winner, has signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers. Authentic T.J Oshie Jersey . The deal includes an invitation to major league spring training. The 41-year-old Vizquel is second all-time among Gold Gloves for shortstops, with Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith first with 13. A three-time All-Star, Vizquel has played more games at shortstop than any other player in major league history. He also has a .984 career fielding percentage at the position, the highest figure ever by a shortstop with at least 1,000 games played. Vizquel spent the previous four seasons with San Francisco, and he batted .222 with 23 RBI in 92 games last year, missing a good portion of the season as he recovered from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. "The signing of Omar gives us some additional depth in the infield," said Rangers general manager Jon Daniels. "His experience and years of defensive excellence should be an asset to all of our young players." Over 20 major league seasons, including five with Seattle and 11 with Cleveland, Vizquel is a career .273 hitter. The Rangers also signed catcher Adam Melhuse to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league camp this spring. Philadelphia 76ers Jersey . - Willie Coetzees had the power-play winner to give the Red Deer Rebels a 2-1 overtime win over the Swift Current Broncos in Western Hockey League action Friday. Ryan Kesler Jersey . Briere has gone from so-so to sensational in his first playoff series with the Flyers and has suddenly performed like hes worth every dollar of that big-bucks free-agent deal. Knicks Jersey . - Pavol Demitra, Jason Krog and Jannik Hansen each scored goals to help the Vancouver Canucks stay unbeaten in the pre-season with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Authentic Johan Franzen Jersey . Peavy reacted well to his four-inning simulated start Saturday with no physical setbacks to his strained right elbow. We didnt feel there was any need to either take more time or move him up, Padres manager Bud Black said. Henrik Lundqvist Jersey . -- The Sacramento Kings have acquired swingman Marquis Daniels and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics in exchange for a future draft pick.SAN FRANCISCO -- The champion San Francisco Giants declined to exercise their US$9.5 million option on World Series MVP Edgar Renteria on Thursday, instead paying him a $500,000 buyout. Its no surprise because the 34-year-old Renteria is considering retirement after an injury-plagued season. Still, the Giants had to make the decision only three days after Renterias tiebreaking three-run homer off Cliff Lee in the seventh inning Monday night helped San Francisco win the franchises first title since moving West in 1958. "He was obviously a big reason we won, not just the last game but the whole playoff run," said Bobby Evans, the Giants vice-president of baseball operations. "Edgar played a huge role, whether in the clubhouse, on the field, or his leadership and his professionalism and his ability to string together some very good games and big hits for us." The shortstop said Wednesday he will rest for a while before determining his future. "Its always hard to think about retiring," Renteria said after the teams victory parade. "I want to rest. Whew, I feel great." A five-time all-star, Renteria batted .412 (7 for 17) with two homers and siix RBIs in the Series. Josh Smith Jersey. He had all of three home runs and 22 RBIs during an injury-filled regular season that included three stints on the disabled list. At the end, he played through a torn biceps muscle. He rarely was pain-free this year when he was on the field. Renterias trips to the disabled list were because of a strained right groin (May 6-22 and May 25-June 16) and a strained left biceps (Aug. 11-Sept. 1). His 72 games were the fewest of his 15-year big league career. In fact, he had never been below 106 games before. Renteria might just decide to go out on top -- often something players hope for when leaving the game. He is a career .287 hitter with 135 home runs and 887 RBIs for the Marlins, Cardinals, Red Sox, Braves, Tigers and Giants. In 1997, his 11th-inning single led Florida past Cleveland for the title. Renteria made the final out for St. Louis in Bostons 2004 World Series win. "Hes a guy were glad we brought here. Despite the injuries this year, he still found a way and he stuck it out to contribute," Evans said. "He fought through it. Hes a great baseball man and a consummate professional. A World Series MVP says it all." ' ' '
