Way to build team chemistry, Jose. I think I'd rather hug a crocodile.

I enjoyed Jose when he was here, probably because I didn't have to share the locker room with him, and he had a lot of the highlights of the first season, but he continues to act like he's 14 years old.  He probably believes that all he wants is to win, but he is unable to see that the way he acts keeps him, and his team, from being as good as they can be.  And if he's looking to win in K.C., well, good luck.  So, I'm glad he's somebody else's problem now.

Stealing a page out of His Majesty Soriano's playbook I see.

it is worth noting that Guillen almost immediately backed off this statement and said he'd play wherever the manager told him to. he said that he felt that RF was his best position, given his arm and such, but he's not in charge, the manager is, and if the manager feels he needs to play LF to give the team the best chance to win, then that is where he plays.

he's not going to refuse to take the field like some other outfielder we know.

Good point.
