I think Ozzie and the White Sox just didn't work out. I feel Ozzie could do a little better on the Northside, with Zambrano as the ace
:cubstroll:

All :cubstroll:ing aside, Ozzie is a better manager than Quade, and would generate a lot of interest in the Cubs. If the Cubs can't afford a big name in the next two years, they should pursue Ozzie.

The funny thing about Ozzie (White Sox fans, correct me if I'm wrong...) is he manages the game as if he's in the NL. Bunts, moving runners over...playing Pierre all season...

I honestly think he'd be avg at worst in the NL.

That being said, I want no part of him.

You're correct. He manages an NL-style game. I don't think he'd fare well in the NL but it's more suited towards his style.

depends on where he went, I guess. If Florida does end up signing him, I think it would be beneficial to both parties.

That "NL style" is exactly why I don't want him. He is giving away outs and that's just stupid.

How dare Ozzie trust bats to drive runners in. Must be that :turrible: RISP average the Cubs had the last 3 years that make people forget what big bats are in the lineup are for.

Or it could be that giving up outs is a bad strategy in 99% of baseball situations. And there are plenty of baseball experts (GMs, managers, analysts) who agree with that position. Just because CO says something doesn't mean it is wrong, and basically is why I want no part of Ozzie Guillen.
