Guillen and Thomas
Ozzie Guillen has already put Frank Thomas on notice:
"As long as Frank has fun and he plays the game right, I'm not going to (say anything),'' Guillen said. "But (if) he does stuff on the field, he doesn't respect the team and he doesn't respect himself. For example, if Frank hits a flyball and doesn't run the bases, then Frank's not going to get another at-bat.
"We might fight. I'm not going to fight with him because he's to big, but I'm going to make sure we're on the same page. I'm not talking about just Frank. I'm talking about everybody. I'm not here to make friends.''
My biggest concern about Guillen as a manager is that he might be too much fun to be around. Ozzie is so easy going, I don't know how well he'll enforce discipline. The above statement is a good start.
