Ozzie Guillen enthused about prospect of fewer home runs

"The last couple of years we relied too much on home runs and power, and right now, the way baseball is going, we had to get better for not just this year, but 2009, 2010, 2011. That's why we have to get those kids on track and make it happen."

I'm still confused by the Sox path right now
I don’t believe they’re ready to hand an outfield spot to Anderson/Owens, and I sure hope they’re not going to give a rotation spot to Jeff Marquez.
Proposal: Marquez shall henceforth be known by the nickname [Candidate 5] here on SSS.

Ozzie said yesterday in an interview with Chuck Garfiend
that JO is his CF/LO hitter and he better take advantage of it.

I disagree and think they (Kenny) have little problem going with
Owens vs RHP and Anderson vs LHP and as a defensive replacement. And I 2nd that Candidate 5 is always to be known as Candidate 5.
[Candidate 5] is pretty outstanding.
“‘Well, if I answered that question, it would go against my tactics of trying to mislead you guys as much as I can,’ Williams said. ‘So, I just have to continue on with my pattern of dodging and weaving. We generally have more success when we are operating out of sight.’”
I see a stockpile of money, a pretty tight market and a glut of actual contributors hanging around. This looks like the perfect year to get talent and cut payroll.
Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
Has he ever misled about payroll before and taken on more than he claimed he could?
I don’t recall that happening, so I’m inclined to believe there will be no FA signings without another trade.
by hitlesswonder on Dec 10, 2008 12:13 PM CST up reply actions
i tend to agree.
but who knows. i think he may (or at least could) be implying that his current payroll limit includes an amount set aside for a FA signing(s). but i don’t expect much of anything big from KW. not like that’s much of a surprise considering his past history of not signing anything other than second or third tier free agents.
a-rod is a traitor.
85M is his payroll limit? a whole, what, 20-25M short of last season?
cutting a fifth of the payroll? that seems drastic and i think there would be other operational hints. if the Sox actually think there will be ticket sales problems/economic issues, how would they be able to raise prices again?
Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
Because feedback shows
that gradual price increases without regard to circumstance are better than increases and decreases based on market factors, duh. At least according to the White Sox marketing team the above is deemed to be true.
I can’t access your file from work, but the $85M includes Dye, correct? I think he has room for some low profile signings/bargain hunting, but I would be surprised if it is more than that.
there's a sidebar link that Cheat set up that should work for you.
the 85 figure is approximate and assumes JD is gone: 110 – Javy, Swish, JD + Bobby/Betemit’s est. arb = 110 – 30 + 5.
as for the “duh” i’ve never heard of that practice. i’m not uni-level educated on econ/b-school stuff.
Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
why are you so sure Dye is gone?
I already told you all, KW will not trade Dye, he won’t! Ozzie said last night that he is looking forward to having JD in right field. Infusion of young and aging talent means you can’t get rid of your most consistent hitter over the last 4 years. Now, if KW is blown away by some offer, JD will be on a plane in a heartbeat but, I don’t see any team wanting to take on his salary or offering the right prospects.

The 'duh' was tongue in cheek as their is an article out
there where a white sox org. member addresses why the Sox are raising ticket prices in the current environment.
If that does not include Dye, then I definitely think we are closer to the number than people would like to believe.
I know of at least 2 season ticket holders . . . 8 seats in the lower premium level that are not renewing this upcoming season. Small sample size, but still I think they are preparing for a downturn at the gate and maybe more importantly, corporate advertising $.
do you know when/if season ticket sales data will be released?
Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
Only divine intervention
Prevented Q from being on the bench at the beginning of the season with Owens starting. That alone should give people shivers. Ozzie will attempt again to reassemble his Marlins offense. That requires speedy guy up top. Now the fact that the speedy guy can’t hit, can’t get on base, can’t play D need not worry you. Remember Owens is fast. Hawk will be back on mute. Just imagine how he reacted to Gomez, yet hearing every single game. Yuck. Hopefully there is a Plan B.

All depends on the grain:
All bats must conform to slope of grain wood requirements. Slope of grain is a term that quantifies how straight the grain is on the wood.
All manufacturers must place an ink dot on the tangential face of the sugar maple and yellow birch bats before finishing. This enables the slope of grain to be viewed easily.
The orientation of the hitting surface on sugar maple and maple bats should be rotated 90 degrees. To facilitate the change, all manufacturers must rotate the logo they placed on bats by 90 degrees.
The handles of sugar maple and yellow birch bats must be natural or clear to allow for the inspection of the slope of grain in the handle.
Manufacturers must track each bat they supply.
Officials from each manufacturer must participate in an M.L.B.-sponsored workshop on engineering properties and grading practices of wood.
M.L.B. will visit manufacturers regularly to audit each company’s manufacturing processes.
Random audits of bats will be conducted by M.L.B. at ballparks.
A third-party bat certification and quality control program should be established to certify new suppliers, approve new species of wood, provide training and education to manufacturers and address non-compliance issues.
In addition, the administration fee for bat suppliers has increased to $10,000 from $5,000. The minimum umbrella insurance for suppliers also rose to $10 million from $5 million. There were 32 approved bat makers last year. None of them were banished from making bats.

I read something a couple of days ago about Lexi having two weeks off
and then resuming workouts. This leads me onto my question, do the players have personal trainers and/or team programme workouts in the off season to keep fit? Or are they left to look after their own physical fitness?
For instance we’ve all seen how the new Cuban lad has been told to lose 10lbs before Spring Training, I’m presuming he will get some help from the organisation, I wouldn’t like to think he was resorting to laxatives or anything like that.
cheers
number one when it mattered!
depends.
some guys get more supervision than others. most players at this level don’t require it from the organization, though teams will help out if requested (see the josh fields request to work out with cora and ozzie, for example). most players just work out by themselves with their own personal trainers (or just themselves or other players).
a-rod is a traitor.
I think Josh working out
was more baseball related than seeing how much he can bench/squat. He probably wanted to show them what he could do, brown nose, and maybe learn something along the way.

Kind of like Bobby Jenks
a couple of years ago…which might still be in place. Herm and the staff gave him an offseason plan and then they would check in on them.
Also happens with some players that have offseason surgery. I am sure the Sox are checking in on Q!.

jenks is one of the guys who gets the heightened, active scrutiny from the organization.
contreras (outside of the current injury, which obviously requires monitoring from the sox medical staff) was a guy who i doubt the white sox were doing much more than calling him occassionally to check in. most “veterans” are like that, though there are certainly exceptions.

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II
US Ranked 4th
After determining the Big-12 championship game participants, the BCS
computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.
“Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US, England and Russia; however considering their entire body of work—including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule—our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking.”
Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS
commissioner stated “The US only had two major victories—Japan and
Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren’t influenced by
head-to-head contests—they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event.”
The German Chancellor said “Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks.” Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn ‘style points’ to enhance Germany’s rankings.
“Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the
conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the
application of additional forces,” said the Chancellor.
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented “France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2.”
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines

MLBTR Update
WEDNESDAY, 12:23pm: Ken Rosenthal says the Dye-Reds discussions continue at a moderate level, but for now the Sox expect Dye to be their Opening Day right fielder. A deal was close at one point, but Dye’s salary became an issue for the Reds. Rosenthal specualates that the Reds could now just try to get a bargain on Bobby Abreu or Pat Burrell.

“It will be a different (spring training) camp,” Guillen said Tuesday night, and he wasn’t just talking about the move from Tucson to Glendale. "Because we have to get it done from spring training, right from the beginning.
“Obviously having kids play, they have to show me they can do things, a lot of little things, to help the big boys around.”
Guillen also spoke confidently about possessing a quicker team on defense, which is necessary because of the starting pitching staff’s reliance on fielding.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
giving up Cunningham doesn't equate . . .
it was a sunk cost at the time of the Griffey deal, so we really did not give up anything for Griffey, just spent some $.
No, we didn't have to give anything up for him...just a few triples and runs that another OFer would have fielded as singles and outs, perhaps.
But that’s not really my point anyway.
I could see Swish was struggling, and I didn’t disagree with the decision to bench him. Just as I didn’t disagree with Manuel when he put Paulie on the bench for a month in 2003, when he was slumping and sulking.
All I said was that we acquired him unnecessarily. He was virtually dead weight since he was worthless/damaging in the OF (where we needed him) and uninspiring at the plate (where we could have used his pretty swing).
Unless you want to argue that he was there for team spirit.
In which case, it is pretty obvious that our team spirit went by the name “Q,” and was dead (and not to be revived for the rest of the season) on September 5th, regardless of KGJ’s presence.

I would say that it wasn't a bad idea in
hoping he might find lightning in a bottle for a few months on a contender. Hindsight is 20/20. I would have thought Edmonds was completely washed up last year as well, but he put up some solid #’s for the north siders. I was of the opinion that maybe Griffey would be able to do something similar . . . in actuality, he performed worse. But at the time and considering what we dealt, I thought it was a worthwhile risk.
I was hopeful over his arrival (ask the skeptical Chiburb, to whom I said, "Yeah, but think of how cool it would be if he DOES do well for us!").
Still – all of us accepted this risk under the premise that KW would not be dumb enough to play him in CF.
No hindsight necessary on this – I don’t recall a person among us who thought playing Griff in CF was a worthwhile risk.
Simply getting Griff? Worthwhile risk. And I thought so too at the time.

those fuckers wanna sign everyone
While getting Sabathia, they also made progress in attempts to sign the next two most attractive starting pitchers, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe. It seems almost certain they’ll get one of the two and not out of the question that they could sign all three, even though that would require a total commitment of more than $300 million. As a backup plan, they are also working toward a possible signing of Ben Sheets, who teamed with Sabathia in Milwaukee.
Burnett, seeking a five-year deal, had Atlanta as his frontrunner 24 hours ago but has received an offer from the Yankees that is believed to beat the one from the Braves. Lowe, who carried the Los Angeles Dodgers to the playoffs last season, has reportedly been offered $66 million over four years. Because of his checkered health record, discussions on Sheets have centered around a two-year deal, possibly with an option for a third year.

Indeed. Got a report from other daughter that the baby is now clapping to music.
Had to tell her that we worked on that most of our 3 hours with her on Sunday.
Yeah, WU, grandfatherhood is wonderful. You’ll be what, 80 or so before you experience it?
I’m thinking I MIGHT still be able to play catch with her for a year or two. Hope she has an accurate arm cuz running will be out of the question.

No lie - my daughter turns 6 - SIX - tomorrow.
I’ll be Medicare age when she graduates high school. But you know, 65 is the new 50. And WTF, by then it might be 40.

they'll probably solve the problem of aging before you die WU
larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.

But you probably got to really live it up in your younger years, right?
I mean swing dancing with a new random girl every other week, cruising chicks in your 42’ Mercury Convertible, going to anti-hitler rallies, throwing “The Great Dust Bowl” parties, shooting squirrels with your new tommy gun, etc.?

I got the same report this morning...minus that you had anything to do with it. :-) Nice work!
I’ll be arranging a video chat to see this in action.

He may be in some sh*t too.
FYI – I am fairly certain that larry is not Jesse Jackson Jr.

I can corroborate postively that your assumption is correct.

question
not to defend the guy at all but if he only offered (didn’t actually do it) to raise money for him is there any criminal wrongdoing?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Marquez=C5, JJJ=SC5
fucking kids can’t read.

that last one is some kind of cheese i believe.

No. Cheat labeled Marquez as C5 (5th starter candidate) in reference to SC5
(Senate Candidate 5) mentioned in the Blago charges. So I think C1 would be MB, C2-C4 would be Floyd, Danks, etc.
