Guillen Takes Over As Marlins Manager

THE Florida Marlins named former Chicago White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen as their new manager on Wednesday, hoping he can kickstart a new era for the struggling Major League Baseball franchise.

The tough-talking Guillen, who parted ways with the Chicago this week after eight seasons, including a World Series title in 2005, takes over just weeks before the Marlins undergo a rebrand, moving to a new downtown ballpark and changing their name to the Miami Marlins.

"This a big, big step in my career, a new chapter," said Guillen, who was a third-base coach with the Marlins' 2003 World Series winning team. The Marlins moved swiftly to sign Guillen to a 4-year deal.
