Will White Sox RHP Jose Contreras ever come around? "He's so doggone inconsistent with his command," a scout says. "He's certainly not a dominant guy and there's nothing wrong with his arm -- he's throwing 95 mph." Contreras leads the A.L. with 15 wild pitches. Opponents have a .398 on-base percentage with runners on base, seventh-highest in the A.L. . . .

 

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen often is entertaining for reporters, but his loose-cannon style eventually could become an issue. Guillen went on an extended rant against Rangers manager Buck Showalter a few weeks back, and Sox officials could not have been happy with his comments Friday about the team's upcoming organization meetings. "Now I won't go there blind, listening to people say who should play, what this guy can do, what this guy can't do," Guillen told reporters. "There'll be a lot of heads rolling down the street because no one can lie to me." Guillen went on to say that he, G.M. Ken Williams and player personnel director Dave Wilder were on the same page. . . .

What crap.

 

I remember reading that quote when Ozzie said it, and he was right on. He was told that guys like Borchard and Crede we're/are going to be stars, and he can clearly see they're not. So why should he go into meetings again this year and believe these clowns when they tell him "player X" is gonna be good?
