Pierre is notoriously better in the second half of the season than the first, this thread was silly from the get go.

No offense but this reminds me of the legendary ostrich with its head in the sand here.

He has said many positive things, many times, whether you read them or not. No one is going to go digging up articles, but I would think anyone who has paid close attention to the sox would remember. Did you take a few years off from the board or something?

Ozuna is the only one of those players who was worth what they paid him, IMO.

Ozzie is a horrible judge of talent.

Ah yes because Ozzie signed Erstad, and Ozuna (who was a bench player and a very productive bench player, but don't let that get in the way of your argument), and Timo.

Well of course he said "positive" things about those guys. My challenge is not that Ozzie may have at one time or another said a nice thing about Dwayne Wise. However, I will dispute the argument that Ozzie "loved" these players and demanded that they be on the White Sox. There's a big difference.
