Captain, No Captain

Ozzie Guillen likes Paul Konerko. A lot. Apparently he's already announced that he is planning on making Konerko the captain of the defending champs for the 2006 season. Only one problem, Konerko doesn't want the title. He doesn't want to be singled out, he doesn't want to wear the "C", and he doesn't want to mess with the team chemistry that helped the team win their first World Series championship since 1917. Ozzie, here's a simple PR tip for you, discuss your plans with the player BEFORE announcing it to the media. There's no point in bringing to light a somewhat controversial issue to the public if it isn't going to happen anyway.

Until Next Time...
