SSH2005 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 For once, someone actually asked a decent question in the WhiteSox.com Mailbag: Ugueth Urbina is still a free agent. Do you think no one is signing him because of his legal troubles? Since Ozzie is such a good friend to Urbina, do you think we have a chance of signing him? -- Jonathan, Wilmington Jonathan, at last check, Urbina still is in a Venezuelan prison, so he has greater issues than baseball on his mind right now. From an informal check with a couple people in the organization, don't look for Urbina to join the White Sox if he sorts out these legal troubles.

GoSox05 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think he tried to cut someones head off and than light them on fire. Hey you gotta admire his competive spirit. I would have settled for just cutting there head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samclemens Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 urbina is a frickin nut. then again, how can you blame him? usually, famous baseball players can do literally anything they want to farmhands in venezuala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ah so-so to me, We could use him, but we deff. dont need him, and he is a nut, so ohwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Unless those couple of people were named Ozzie Guillen, I don't buy it at all. If he gets out of jail with a not guilty verdict and doesn't get picked up by someone else, he'll be in our camp the next spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 You guys actually believe what he did in Venezuela? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not sure. Urbina does seem like he has a big temper but I'm sure there are blackmail scams like this all the time in that country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'd take Urbina in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know him, but I don't know the Venezuelan justice system, nor do I know what the circumstances were. For all we know those guys might have had something to do with the kidnapping of his mother and he might have decided to do something about it. I figure we can just let their legal system figure it out. He probably has enough money to get off unless there's overwhelming proof, or at least he would if he was in this country.

Texsox Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 IIRC Venezuela has Napoleonic Law, guilty until proven innocent, like Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
