Ken Williams blames himself for team's poor play, backs Robin Ventura

DETROIT—White Sox executive vice-president Ken Williams said Robin Ventura and his staff aren’t to blame for the team’s poor start and there’s no changes forthcoming.

The discussion of Ventura’s future came about after the resignation of Ryne Sandberg in Philadelphia.

“I don’t know how (Sandberg’s quitting) affects Robin at all,” Williams said. “I mean, this talk about him is a little overblown as far as I’m concerned.”

Ventura said he’s “committed” to his job and feels support from management.

“Where I’m at and the people that I work with, if they didn’t have faith in me I’d already be gone,” he said.
