Look who's back

Former Bulls GM Jerry Krause and White Sox board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf could only stay broken up for so long.

During his pre-game meeting with the media before Monday’s season-opener against Cleveland, manager Ozzie Guillen – never one to keep secrets – confirmed that the club had brought Krause on as a scout, with an emphasis on handling those duties as far as improving the influx of Latin players.

It came with a ringing endorsement from Guillen.

“I hope he finds another Ozzie Guillen,” the seventh-year skipper insisted.

After all, it was Krause who found the first Ozzie Guillen, responsible for adding the likes of Guillen in a trade with San Diego, as well as recommending then-first baseman Greg Walker.

“He’s a very smart man,” Guillen said. “He gambled by trading for me and he won. I think this man is a very, very brilliant guy. He’s a great baseball person.”
