'They don't think about baserunning, and they miss the cutoff men. I don't think they know the importance of bunting.' -- Luis Aparicio to Sports Illustrated. Page 16.
No he's not specifically talking about the White Sox but he damn well could be.
Here's a suggestion..if you are going to play 'small-ball,' why not bring in the people who knew how to execute it best to help teach it? I don't think at 71 Luis would be interested in coaching with Ozzie but would it hurt to at least ask if he'd come to spring training for a few weeks? If you can't learn base running, base stealing or bunting from Luis Aparicio you aren't trying very hard.
