I absolutely love Ozzie Guillen. I actually want to write a post about why I think he’s good for baseball. If you haven’t heard there is a little fiasco currently going on in the White Sox organization because of something his something his son posted on his personal twitter page. This led to Oney resigning from his position with the White Sox.
Of course, the media is in a lathered frenzy. Is a divorce between Ozzie and White Sox management imminent? Personally, I doubt it. One of the things I appreciate about Ozzie is his ability to differentiate between personal and business. All of this brings me to Ozzie’s quote on Torre and Cash. He said this:
“Hopefully, our relationship is the same,” Ozzie said. “I think it will be. We’re grown men.
“I don’t think,” he added, “[Brian] Cashman and Joe Torre got along that well.”
I love that quote. I’m not sure why but I think it exposes the myth that upper management has to get together in order for a team to be successful.
I like Girardi, I do but I sometimes wonder what it would be like for Guillen to be the manager of Yankees. Could you imagine how much fun that would be? Good Soul!
