It seems that no one wants to talk about Jose Canseco's new book. Especially the players that are "named" in it or the people around those players.Most players are giving the famous "no comment" speech, with various tweaks. Alex Rodriguez included "absolutely" to spice up his no comment. Others have declined to say anything at all. Not a "no comment" comment to be found.
You can always count on Ozzie Guillen to break the taboos and say something off the cuff. Right? Well, Ozzie does hold claim to one of the longest comments on this latest round of steroid talk. It also boasts the most information of any comment.
"Magglio isn't a player on my team anymore," said Ozzie.
Well, that about sums it up. All of that is true and is a clever way of saying no comment. It appears that Jose Canseco's second book is being taken a little more seriously by baseball personnel. Why else would everyone be so quiet about it. People seem scared by the accusations brought about in this book.
It should be interesting to see what happens after the release of this book. If a book can silence Ozzie Guillen, it stands to reason that it is powerful. There may be a few grains of truth in this book too.

I took Jose seriously the first time. You know someone had to come out and say what needed to be said, point fingers, and name names. I'm sorry that Canseco is being treated the way he is. Now that is not to say that I believe everything he says, but I don't automatically disbelieve him either.
