Irvin Joel Vigo Guzmán (born November 24, 1984 in Quisqueya, Dominican Republic), is an infielder/outfielder in Major League Baseball who plays in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays minor league system. He was traded on July 31, 2006, to the Devil Rays from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Julio Lugo.
Guzmán spent the entire 2005 season with the Dodgers Double-A minor league affiliate, the Jacksonville Suns of the Southern League. He was the team's shortstop. With a predicted jump to the Major League level at some point in the 2006 season, Dodgers manager Grady Little converted Guzmán to left field during spring training. With Rafael Furcal, Cesar Izturis, and Oscar Robles already shortstops on the Dodgers major league roster, the position change was made in an attempt to give Guzmán increased opportunity to play with the Dodgers in 2006.
