"I take the blame," he said before Thursday's game--a 7-2 loss in Kansas City. "They gave me a good ball club."
"Don't turn on Kenny, people in Chicago don't do that. I remember in spring training, people were very excited about this ball club."
Guillen said Williams worked hard to put together the team
"Kenny did everything he could to bring a good ball club," he said. "Kenny did a good job."
As for his future with the team, Guillen said that's up to team owner Jerry Reinsdorf to decide. Published reports have indicated that Guillen will likely be let go after the season, while Williams will remain as GM.
