If there’s one thing that Kenny Williams did well, it’s strike it big with low risk-high reward players. Matt Thornton, Jose Quintana, Carlos Quentin, Bobby Jenks, and Sergio Santos are all examples of guys that he plucked from the scrap heap with fantastic results.

I always felt like Matt Thornton and Boone Logan wouldn’t have even gotten a chance if the Sox weren’t trying to find someone specifically to face Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.

Thank you for the memories, Thornton. I had the opportunity to watch you pitch several times at Comisky.

I’ve been a White Sox fan for about 45 years, and Matt Thornton has been the best left-handed reliever during that time, in my opinion. Hope he enjoys retirement, and if he wants to get back in I hope he can land in the organization.

Yankees gave up too soon on him.
