Vizquel can expect a hero’s reception tonight at The Prog

“He was very supportive of me as a young manager,” Wedge said. “That meant a great deal to me. When you’re a young manager, you need your veteran players to get on board or it can be a long day. He did.”
Wedge remembered calling Vizquel into his office one day. Vizquel, as he sometimes did, didn’t run out a ground ball. At the time, Wedge had gone head-to-head with outfielder Milton Bradley over the same issue.
“What I said is, ‘How can I get these guys to run if you don’t run?’ He looked at me and said, ‘I understand.’ After that he was great,” Wedge said.
“I asked him to help me out, trying to teach these guys how to play, and he did. The key to that is I never had to talk to him again. That’s the key. It doesn’t mean anything if he doesn’t respect me and the game. But he does ... he respects the game.”
