Ozzie Guillen - hate him or love him, he is stirring the pot in the MLB again. And frankly, It's hard for me to disagree with much of what he says. The man has lost a lot of credibility for his eccentricities, and a lot of fans detest him for the fact that he succeeds with a seeming "me against the world" attitude, but I think the game of baseball, and specifically Latin players, need somebody willing to say these things. Here are some excerpts:

Ozzie Guillen wrote:"why do we have Japanese interpreters and we don't have a Spanish one. I always say that. Why do they have that privilege and we don't?"

Ozzie Guillen wrote:"I'm the only one to teach the Latinos about not to use," he said. "I'm the only one and Major League Baseball doesn't [care]. All they care about -- how many times I argue with the umpires, what I say to the media. But I'm the only one in baseball to come up to the Latino kids and say not to use this and I don't get any credit for that.

Guillen also said players from Latin America are considered too old to sign if they're past 16 or 17, yet college prospects from the U.S. are often signed at age 22 or 23.

I strongly agree with pretty much all of the points. What are some of your opinions?

Guillen always keeps things interesting no doubt.

cant understand anything + numerous bleeps = classic ozzie

dunno, he is a manager that proved himself time and time again but might be a distraction for his team this time.
