southsider2k5 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,1362048.story Williams appears to have mellowed in his new role, which he assumed last year when Hahn was promoted to GM. Earlier Wednesday, at the end of a panel discussion on Jackie Robinson, the moderator told Williams he had spoken to former manager Ozzie Guillen, who told him wanted to return to the Cell. Williams didn't blink. "All he has to do is call," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 In what role though? I highly doubt KW is talking manager here. I loves me some Super Joe at 3B coach. Bench coach?? Not sure what to think of Parent. Infield instructor?? I'm not even sure that exists. Or just something like "Latin ambassador"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokpelts Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It would only be in a ambassador role. BUT, will he want to give up the 4 million he's making the next 2 years to be a glorified greeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't think this is for Ozzie to return to White Sox employment. It is for him to return to the park. Maybe visit the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for him to return to the park. Maybe visit the clubhouse. I think this is what he's talking about, but even if it's not, it would not be a prominent role with the White Sox organization. Someone mentioned as an ambassador. That would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) Hahn took a couple snide shots at him at SoxFest. We should bring him in just to go off on the bullpen. Sean Tracey some of the arms. Since I wasn't at Soxfest can you recall some of those shots Hahn made?

Depends on the language of the contract, but as I stated, I don't think KW's comment was for a paid role. Just coming to a game, and perhaps visiting the clubhouse. Then I was told he can't do that because of his contract with the Marlins. I don't think that is accurate in the least. Why would Loria care if Ozzie went to the Sox clubhouse?

I'm sure Ozzie has been in a clubhouse since he lost his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Ozzie has been in a clubhouse since he lost his job actually no. he cant go inside another ballpark while a ballgame is scheduled without permission of the marlins. he was able to go to the boxing match because it wasnt a baseball event. mlb has tampering rules for a reason. he would need to forgo his salary with the marlins to take any position with the sox. not sure how the rules work with his espn duties.

TheTruth05 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) I can't quote him but I do remember he was saying things about how Ozzie handled the team without stating his name explicitly. Something like that "that type of clubhouse is in the past" and another more direct dig I can't recall. yup,I see what he did there. thanks.

The shots I saw of Kenny after the WS victory were of his celebrating pretty wildly. Ozzie had a lot to do with the best period of Kenny's professional life. That wasn't all Kenny, folks.
