Ozzie Guillen (To Give Him Credit) Is A Smart Man...
2008-05-09 03:47:00 Ah, in today's world of celebrity, blogs, sports talk radio, and 24-hour cable, one man in baseball has figured out how to manipulate the media and get himself some face time -- Ozzie Guillen!The boorish and loud White Sox manager, isn't crazy, he knows that controversy creates cash, attention and ratings...White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen knows what sells in the media, what piques interest in baseball and other fields of endeavor. It's people who tend to act a little crazy from time to time."Who cares about Britney Spears? But she's on TV every day. Why do you think people give a ... about Jose Canseco? That ... sells," Guillen said Thursday at the end of a 25-minute pregame meeting with reporters.Managers who stir it up with their comments -- as Guillen has done most of his managerial career -- or with their on-field tantrums, like former Yankees manager Billy Martin and Cubs manager Lou Piniella, stick out."Who's the manager they remember the most? ... Billy Martin. They don...

Bunting Their Way to the Top
2007-10-24 18:40:00 The White Sox aren't resting on their laurels after a 72-90 season (in which they significantly outperformed their 67-95 Pythagorean W-L). Manager Ozzie Guillen has concocted an ingenious quick fix for all that ails them:Spring training won't be dull if White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has his way. As Guillen talked Tuesday about the additions of third-base coach Jeff Cox and bullpen coach Juan Nieves to his staff, he emphasized the Sox will change their preparation radically in an effort to improve dramatically from their 90-loss season."You're going to see a lot of crazy stuff in spring training, regardless of the baserunning," Guillen said during a conference call. "You're going to see hit-and-run [plays] when it's not a hit-and-run situation. You're going to see people bunting when it's not a bunting situation."Is there a worse way to improve a team that finished last in the AL with a .318 OBP than to give away outs on purpose? I don't think so, but if there is, I'm conf...
The Eternally-Maligned K
2007-09-17 04:56:00 Strikeouts really don't deserve the abuse they take from the mainstream baseball media. It's no coincidence that many of the best players in baseball are also prone to the K, but this relationship too often goes unnoticed in favor of scapegoating like this:Manager Ozzie Guillen says he'd like to see more emphasis on on-base percentage among White Sox hitters next season, and one place to start is cutting down on strikeouts. Sox hitters fanned 12 times Saturday night against the Angels and have struck out 1,045 times in 148 games, or about seven times per game, fourth worst in the American League. That's seven unproductive at-bats on which nothing happens because the ball isn't put in play.Is that really the place to start? Having a high strikeout total doesn't preclude a team from also enjoying a high OBP; on the contrary, teams which feature selective hitters who reach base with great frequency often strike out a lot, too, simply because they're willing to go deep in counts....
