As of a couple years ago he was on the fast track in the Sox organization. Even a candidate for manager.

The Score data geeks were pushing for his hall of fame consideration based on his defensive data, despite his offensive mediocrity.

So the batboy saw Omar Vizquel naked, and had to wash his back once. It's just strange behavior. I'm not sure how the White Sox should be liable.

IDK, kinda explains why Vizquel left the organization all of a sudden.

Did you read the article Peeps posted?

Because if you did, that's an incredibly odd take to walk away with from it.

Didn't Bernstein think he should've been a manager candidate? :lol:

After 6 months, people wanted him in the major league dugout. They said the Sox would "lose him" if they didn't.

It's in black and white right here on this board.

It’s seems like Vizquel is a bully, and the Sox parted ways with him after they found out.

Bernstein & Julie wanted him to manage the Sox because he's a poc. If he snuck through the system and was the current Sox manager it would be a colossal mess.

Well, I wanted Wally Backman at one point, too, before hearing about his personal life. Same with Vizquel.

It’s a lawsuit summary not a balanced article. A lawsuit meant to separate Vizquel from his money. Maybe Vizquel was married for years and had kids as a cover. Or maybe saying sexual harassment is a better path to riches. I don’t know what happened.

I mean who hasn't exposed themselves to an autistic bat boy?

You aren't this understanding with young black males. And you do know that the Sox/Barons suspended and eventually fired him shortly thereafter.

One of these tasks included stocking the refrigerator with Vizquel's favorite beer. The lawsuit claimed on at least five occasions, a partially undressed Vizquel approached the batboy from behind while he was stocking the refrigerator and tried to have "normal" conversations with him. During these conversations, Vizquel would allegedly expose his partial or fully erect penis to the batboy “showing that his purpose in exposing himself was to obtain sexual gratification.”

Vizquel appears to be a scumbag at best and a rapist at worse.

I think that happened because he beat his wife.

No.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/319 ... harassment

In a statement, the White Sox said: "After first learning of an alleged incident in late August 2019, the Chicago White Sox conducted an internal investigation that resulted in the termination of the organization's relationship with Omar Vizquel.

The issue with his wife came up in 2020.

He asked a Tigers bat boy to wash his back five years or so earlier. Not normal behavior by any standard.
