GLENDALE, Ariz. — The highs and lows are all over the map on Ken Williams’ 10-year journey as White Sox general manager. A World Series championship. An ominous start when Frank Thomas walked out of his first spring training in 2001.
Then came Mike Sirotka and the “Shouldergate” ordeal after the trade for David Wells. And the Todd Ritchie trade. Yikes.
On the flip side, the free-wheeling-dealing Williams has a long list of sparkling free-agent signings and shrewd trades to boast, including a deal for Freddy Garcia that went a long way toward securing that World Series title in 2005. The list goes much longer.
