so is there one particular piece of information that leans towards the assumption that the Sox are signing Wheeler or is this just a bunch of wishful thinking?

Both. It's probably, the Sox jumped so quickly on Grandal (and Abreu, more or less), and then almost right after the signings, the Sox are rumored to be front runners for Wheeler, so now everyone (including myself) are hyped about the next big signing happening fast. 

I think we are all being reminded that rumors are only rumors. I've been intentional about not getting my hopes up with signings, not that I don't think Hahn can't get it done, but being disappointed is not fun. It's a lot more fun when you aren't expecting anything and then all of a sudden you do your daily random refresh and boom White Sox sign X player for X years, much like it happened with Grandal :)

IMHO: Rumors=nothing more than fodder to get fans hyped up. Not much backbone to them. The only person I really listen to with any sense of credibility as far as inside connections are concerned is Rosenthal.

We have to discuss which is the funnier Sox broadcasting moment:

A) DJ: Whatever you do, don't strap it on

B) Hawk: Sacks packed with Seamen

Discuss. 

The best was when Hawk was still with Wimpy. They were playing a day game in Oakland and kept showing women wearing hardly anything in the stands. Hawk says, "I'll tell you one thing about this camera crew in Oakland, Wimpy. Best beaver shooters in the league." I thought for sure he was in trouble.
