- They ask him about Joe Borchard and says its a bad sign that he is cut from a mexican league team. Specifically talks about him not making the adjustments to be made, but says he isn't the first prospect with ability to get cut from a winter league team.

 

- Says the team has to be patient and they don't have a choice at this point.

 

- Talked about Ordonez and says he wants to move forward, but sounded pretty somber about it. You could hear dissapointment or even a bad taste in his mouth about how this ended.

 

- Talked about the media being one of his toughest parts of being a GM (This stemmed from something he told them early in his time as a GM). Talked about how fans, some like moves, some don't and that he doesn't look at fan reaction; obviously good fan reaction is nice, but as a whole if it makes the club better who cares(said it in a good way..my wording is pretty crappy).

 

- As of today that Ben Davis and Crede are starters, but said if that impact pitcher isn't available that they will look at other places to upgrade itself and that he doesn't know what his path would be if that is the case. Talks again about defense and confidence in Crede and Harris (makes no mention of Ben Davis). Says how the Twins just wore them out. And that one of the biggest misnomers about the club was about how great the offense was but that if you really look at the numbers you find that it wasn't consistent enough. Beacuse with the pitching and defense they will be consistent at keeping the other team off the board

 

- Said Vizcaino was almost as key to this deal as SPod and that this bullpen can help make it a 6 inning game.

 

- They talk about him having the toughest job in Chicago sports. How he is in a major market where 90% of the city follows the northsiders and that he has a midmarket payroll. He says who wouldn't want a New York or LA payroll but those aren't there economics or resources. They say they spend whatever they bring and "hell" we've spent more the past couple years.

 

- Goes back to the pitching staff and says the Sox have a pitching staff that rivals any of those high budget teams and thats where it starts.

 

- He is calling from Arizona, but declines on the reason for it :lol: ; Kenny goes "I cannot tell you that"

 

Haha, good interview.

great here we go again.. This trade now has Todd Richie all over it.

OMG STFU. You just want to bash kenny any way you can, you wanted to make the deal when you proposed it but because kenny made it you don't like it. No one puts any value into what you say because you do bulls*** like this, why don't you get the f*** out of here because everyone here thinks you're full of bulls***.

LoL, kenny can't tell us where he calling from........stealth.

You beat me to it...I love it.

 

Love him or hate him...you gotta respect the man. He works his ass off.

 

Thanks McNeil for the giving KW, "the hardest sports job in Chicago" label. Unfortunately, it's true.
