Ozzie Guillen traded to the Marlins

The list for potential White Sox managers is going to be interesting. Everyone's going to bring up La Russa as a dark-horse, but I'm hoping for Dave Martinez.

Sox finally ridded themselves of the game's dumbest manager. It's cause for celebration.

Lol wat?

Ozzie can only do so much with an awful awful roster.

He's a really good manager. Adam Dunn and Alex Rios were utter crap and he deflected all the attention off of them. He's a media attention magnet and he can manage a bullpen quite well. He's a good manager.

Horrible fit for Florida though. Who can't stand anybody who makes attention. Literally makes no sense.

2006: second-half collapse
2007: 90 losses
2008: barely won the division; dismissed with ease by Tampa.
2009: sub-.500 record
2010: another second-half choke
2011: team-record payroll; 15 games out.

That's a whole lot of fail with 100+ million dollar payrolls since the greatness of 2005. Especially when the top 3 AL powerhouses are in the AL east.

You're associating payroll with having good rosters. The two are not that strongly correlated.

Ozzie Guillen is a manager. He doesn't hit, he doesn't pitch, he doesn't take the field, he doesn't control the 25 guys on the roster. Kenny Williams incompetence is the biggest reason for the White Sox failures since winning a WS.

Also, Jacoby Ellsbury MVP!
