You Say Guillen, I Say Gui-zhen


Seeing Ozzie Guillen in the dugout tonight has me wondering.

Back when Jim Kaat was in The Booth, he called Ozzie Guillen, "Ozzie Gui-zhen."

I could never figure out (1) why he thought it was pronounced that way, and (2) why nobody in the production truck ever set him straight.

Now, I love Jim Kaat. The guy could pitch and play his position with the best of them.

But how do you get Gui-zhen from Guillen?
