| Player Notes |
| November 20, 2007 With the acquisition of Orlando Cabrera, Juan Uribe will likely be dealt this offseason, according to the Chicago Tribune. Uribe, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Sox in early November, batted .234 with 20 home runs in 2007. |
| November 7, 2007 The White Sox re-signed Juan Uribe Wednesday to a one-year contract worth $4.5 million, according to the AP. Uribe hit .234 with 20 homers in 150 games with the Pale Hose this season, and he'll once again serve as the club's starting shortstop next year. |
| September 28, 2007 Ozzie Guillen wants Juan Uribe to lose weight for next season and gain some more consistency, the AP reports. "Uribe is not bad, but he drives me crazy," said Guillen. "I'll be honest with you, Uribe can drive everybody crazy. The season is over, you look up, 20 home runs and 70 RBIs, and as a manager, you say 'how the hell can he do that?"' Guillen doesn't think Uribe has reached his potential yet. "I wish Uribe finds out how good he is. How dangerous he can be," said Guillen. Uribe is hitting .231 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs. |
| September 7, 2007 The Chicago Sun-Times speculates the White Sox may be leaning against picking up their 2008 contract option of shortstop Juan Uribe, valued at $5 million. Manager Ozzie Guillen told the paper he is going give Andy Gonzalez a few starts in a row. |
| July 19, 2007 The White Sox have a $5 million option on Juan Uribe for next season, but they may not exercise it unless the shortstop shows improvement in his offensive game throughout the rest of the season. "If he wants to come back, he has to give us better results for on-base percentage," manager Ozzie Guillen told the Chicago Tribune. "He has from now until the end of the season to show he can do that." Uribe is currently hitting .218 with a .273 on-base percentage, eight homers, and 32 RBI. |
| May 23, 2007 Juan Uribe rejoined the White Sox Tuesday but was not in the starting lineup, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He spent Monday with his ailing mother. |
| May 8, 2007 Juan Uribe is scheduled to return to the lineup on Wednesday after missing four games to tend to his ailing mother, the AP reports. Uribe once again isn't hitting for much of an average this year (.224), though he does have four homers. |
| May 6, 2007 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he spoke with Juan Uribe on Saturday and is confident his starting shortstop will rejoin the team in time for Tuesday's game, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Uribe left the team Friday morning to join his mother, who was ill. |
| May 5, 2007 Juan Uribe will not be available for the White Sox's weekend series against the Angels, according to the LA Times. He headed back to Chicago yesterday to be with his mother, who is ill. It's not clear when he'll rejoin the Sox, but it won't be Saturday or Sunday. |
| March 29, 2007 Juan Uribe was a late scratch on Wednesday due to the mild calf irritation that knocked him out of Sunday's game, according to the Daily Southtown. At this point, he's still expected to be ready for opening day. |
| March 26, 2007 Juan Uribe was forced to exit yesterday's exhibition game due to a mild irritation of his right calf, according to the Daily Southtown. "Uribe will be fine," manager Ozzie Guillen said. Uribe is day-to-day. |
| February 23, 2007 The attorney for Juan Uribe claims his client has been cleared of any involvement in an offseason shooting incident, the Chicago Tribune reports. Uribe was en route to Tucson from Dallas late Thursday night to join the White Sox in full-squad workouts. Uribe's agent/attorney Martin Arburua said he was informed by one of Uribe's Dominican-based attorneys that Uribe would not be required to return to his native country every 15 days or appear for a March 17 hearing. |
| February 18, 2007 The White Sox expect Juan Uribe to arrive for spring training on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. He's scheduled to appear at a hearing earlier in the day in his native Dominican Republic for his alleged involvement in the shooting of two men last October. Assuming everything goes as the White Sox expect, he should join the team later that day. |
| February 14, 2007 Juan Uribe has a hearing scheduled next week in a Dominican court for a case involving a shooting in which two men were wounded in October, according to the Chicago Tribune. Uribe's legal status and availability this spring and for the season remains uncertain at this point. He has been working out on his own in the Dominican Republic. |
| February 9, 2007 General Manager Ken Williams expects Juan Uribe to arrive on time to Spring Training, and Uribe will still be counted on to be Chicago's starting shortstop, according to the team's official site. Uribe and two other men are facing charges in the Dominican Republic, tied to a shooting where two people were injured. "I expect him to be at Spring Training on time, and if he isn't, then I'll deal with it then," Williams said. "If he's there, great. If he's focused, great. If he's not there or not focused, then Alex Cintron has a heck of a chance to play every day." |
| January 7, 2007 Juan Uribe said yesterday that he intends to report to spring training and that he expects his legal troubles in his native Dominican Republic to be over in a few days, according to the Chicago Tribune. "I'm confident this will clear up soon and will not affect my plans to be on time to the Sox [spring training] camp," Uribe told ESPNdeportes.com. "Monday will be key in the case because the accuser is going to present the alleged witnesses against me. I'm innocent, so I'm sure that nobody can testify they saw me in an event where I wasn't present." He was recently quoted saying that the ongoing court problems could keep him from being available for the upcoming season. |
| January 5, 2007 Juan Uribe may choose to sit out the 2007 season after a judge ordered him to make twice-monthly court appearances in a shooting case in his native Dominican Republic, according to the AP. "I am going to decide if I am playing in the major leagues or not this year," Uribe said. "It looks very ugly to be accused of something. But first I am going to resolve this and then I will go to the major leagues." If Uribe chooses not to play, Alex Cintron would likely take over as the White Sox shortstop. |
