He is MOST personable, extremely intelligent about baseball (and a lot of other stuff, too). On a road trip to NY, they followed him, among other places, on a visit to the MMA. He is just as outgoing, but the antithesis of Ozzie. As a Ranger fan, I hate to see Omar go. Any team that aquires him in any capacity will be better for having done so. His mentoring of Elvis Andrus helped the uber-talented young-un mature into what now can be a top shelf every day shortstop in the bigs, and his versatility across the infield is invaluable whenever another player goes down. His interaction with the younger players on the team (which would be ALL of them)had an effect on this team that thrust them into a pennant race that they were only supposed to be able to watch from a distance. There is no reason to believe that his impact in Chicago would be any different. Got for the Sox.
