Should the White Sox fire Robin Ventura and hire Ozzie Guillen?
Should the White Sox fire Robin Ventura and hire Ozzie Guillen?
The notion that once seemed crazy is now gaining traction among fans, reporters and maybe even within the White Sox organization.
Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times makes a very strong case for the flashy, firey, former White Sox manager to make a triumphant return:
"Say what you will about Guillen, but he would pump life into a team that needs some CPR. Players would have no choice but to listen.
"Win or lose, he would make the Sox interesting again. The most important part: He's a damn good manager. And he has been humbled since his 2012 departure from the Miami Marlins, who still are sending him paychecks. The front-office friction would vanish."
De Luca goes on to note that July will be all about recalling that World Series in 2005, as the team will celebrate the 10-year-old memories.
With all of the nostalgia surrounding one of the guys who made it possible, Guillen, who's to say the city -- and team -- wouldn't welcome him back with open arms?
