While there wasn't one, huge knockdown, drag-out disagreement between the two, there was definitely a piling up of straw that eventually broke the relationship.
It started in the spring of 2008, when Cabrera took exception to Guillen saying in a Sun-Times article on the shortstop that he and Cabrera both liked to talk about the good-looking women in the Latino soap operas. Guillen said it in jest, but Cabrera didn't find it funny and let Guillen know about it.
On the other hand, Guillen didn't think that Cabrera came in looking out for the team first over his own pending free agency, evident by the way he didn't look to build any relationships with his new teammates, unless they had a deck of cards or a domino in their hands.
He acted like a one-year mercenary that was there to do the Sox a favor.
Guillen also didn't appreciate the way Cabrera went out of his way to point out Angels skipper Mike Scioscia was "the smartest manager I played for ... by far'' or the fact that he twice called up to the press box during games to have errors overturned, including one that could have been put on his own teammate in Toby Hall.
But even with Cabrera elsewhere, Guillen will never question the fact that Cabrera played hard for him - selfishly or not.

Who’s on your short list of least liked players in Sox history?
He would be on my short list. Along with Swisher. Navarro is tops.

damaso marte seems to be a popular choice.

Damaso
was one of my favorite players ever. THat issue Ozzie had with faking an injury/not disclosing it [i can’t remember which] doesn’t matter to me. That guy got people out, and looked awesome doing it. I loved how he’d lean over and just let his arm dangle there like a badass.
I liked Kelly Wunsch a lot, too. And Thornton. Maybe I just like good lefty relievers.

OCAB is NOT on mine. The '08 team would not have made the playoffs without his defense, and...
He was thrust into the leadoff role when he had been slated for the 2-hole, so you can’t hold the .334 OBP against him either. Plus, his presence allowed Uribe to fill in at 3B when needed, and allowed Che a relatively easy intro to MLB. He doesn’t come close to making my least-liked list.
Wanna talk David Wells?

Aww Carl was fuckin' great (in an aesthetic sense, certainly not statistically)
A couple of months ago I was watching one of the 2005 World Series’ games — either game three or four. There comes a point in the game where the camera pans to Carl Everett who is up on the top step and leaning over the rail, shouting profanities at Phil Garner. Garnder responds accordingly.
Then there’s the mini-‘interview’ with him immediately after the win in game four, something to the tune of, “Everybody who doubted us, they can just shut their mouths, just shut their mouths.” Brilliance.

I don't get why he was so hated. Better than Swisher, for example, because at least OCab was a damn fine shortstop and did something positive on the field.
Chicago doesn’t seem like an easy place to get along unless you have a certain edge about you and a little sense of humor. OCab obviously lacked in these departments…and he was on the club for a year that was full of clowns (which I can imagine, would get annoying real fast).
I don’t blame him for keeping to himself, especially under the assumption that his time there was going to be brief.

Lots of doubles and a pretty good demeanor.(they were winning.)
Then he comes to the Sox,never panned out as a leadoff guy,he pouted when they lost,he was arrogant,and he started some shit withJD in the dugout.

If I remember
JD was pissed at him for stealing third, distracting Dye at the play. JD had the issue, not OC. He played hard for this team, and I really don’t care if he was best buds with all the players. Hell, I didn’t like most of my little league team, but It didn’t mean I wasn’t trying to help the team win. He played well for the sox. He didn’t screw them in contract negotiations or go to a rival or anything like that. But feel free to hate away.

if a team signs your obvious replacement after they’ve traded for you, i would imagine one would/should act like a one-year mercenary. as for not being a team player, who knows. i wasn’t there. what i know are the numbers. and he was worth about 3.5 WAR. maybe not having coffee with jermaine dye before the game made JD mad and he didn’t play as good. i doubt that value lost was anything more than a sliver, if anything, of 3.5 WAR. people seem to miss the forest for the silly trees.

I don't love too many people other than my family,
but OrCa did what was expected of him. He also kicked a little ass in the clubhouse, IIRC, saying folks were not intense enough at a time when they were not intense enough. May have been some cultural issues but it sure seemed like he had a target on his back before he even walked through the door. (Serious negativity expressed by a few posters right out of the chute – I never did understand that.)
You’re paid to play, and play hard. His defense was more than adequate, his hitting was exactly what we expected, and he didn’t become an icon nor did he mesh with Guillen. We got what we ordered, and it was enough for the division championship. Che or Juanito at SS means we don’t get to Game 163 and beyond.

The White Sox changed their rotation so that Gavin Floyd will pitch Monday night against Oakland, with Bartolo Colon moved to Tuesday night.
No reason was given for the switch, although Floyd pitched well in a loss Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. The move will allow Floyd to pitch against Cleveland on Sunday and against Detroit on June 11.

Orta cannot compare to Swisher, who quit on the team,

I’d have to vote Swisher, especially because we received so little for him in return it seems obvious that everyone in a GM capacity knew we were dumping him to dump him. He devalued himself tremendously (and Ozzie did us no favors by burying him so publicly).
I will say fans turned on Swisher faster than anyone I’ve ever seen – he was a God for 6 weeks and gum on the bottom of your shoe after that.

The incessant Hawk knob-slobbering that started with the first televised game in spring training was disgusting. I knew he sucked, you knew he sucked, but for three months we had to endure the endless puffery as he dribbled one weak grounder after another to 2B. “What a ballplayer! chuckle chuckle Man, look at ’im give himself up to move that runna ova.” “Gotta agree with ya Hawk”
The only time I’ve taken pleasure in a player’s injury was when he swung and missed and went to the ground in a heap screaming like a little bitch.
Coach says he needs more toughness. I gotta step up.

at least you knew enough not to expect anything from him. also, the sox didn't give up anything to get him
part of my admittedly somewhat irrational hatred of swisher is due to what the sox gave up for him, and then what they got in return for him. (although the rest of my hatred, based on his personality and his production, i feel is warranted.)
brian anderson would've caught that...

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
