southsider2k5 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/02/22/ken...s-on-the-score/ (WSCR) During one of The Score’s David Schuster’s updates from White Sox spring training today, general manager Kenny Williams decided to grab Schuster’s phone and weigh in on The Score. Schuster was on The McNeil and Spiegel Show discussing prospective pitcher Dylan Axelrod when Williams stated his opinion on the 26-year-old right-hander. “Dylan Axelrod is an outstanding young man and he can pitch,” Williams said. “He’s one of these good stories that you hear about coming through the Independent League and the getting an opportunity and making himself into a major league, so let’s all root for him. … I didn’t find him. He found us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
