Miami Marlins: Ozzie Guillen says Yoenis Cespedes no sure thing

Found February 10, 2012 on Sun Sentinel:
PLAYERS: Ozzie Guillen
TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Chicago White Sox

Picimg_kansas_city_royals_c548
It doesn’t appear as though Ozzie Guillen has started scribbling lineups that include Yoenis Cespedes. Guillen is neither convinced the Marlins will land the Cuban defector nor that he’ll be an instant success in the majors. Guillen on Friday joined Waddle & Silvy for Lunch with a Legend on ESPN 1000 in Chicago. Based on his comments, Guillen won’t be too torn up if Cespedes lands elsewhere. He liked what he saw when the Marlins went down to scout Cespedes in the Dominican Republic in November, but Guillen also said “whoever signs him is gambling.” Consider the Marlins all in. The full interview is worth a listen. Guillen said he was hung over when he spoke with the White Sox about their managerial opening after the 2003 season.
