Rick mentioned that Cooper is excited to work an entire spring with guys like Noesi and Guerra and Dan Jennings. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/562785500290088962 Coop feels he can get more out of them than they've had in a prior single season https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/562785607316160512

Hahn: "We are still kicking the tires on a few smaller things ... https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/562783494079004674 More Hahn: "... But I wouldn’t anticipate there being any alterations between now and the start of camp." Don't look for Shields/CWS https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/562783602933764096

Pretty good article http://www.si.com/mlb/2015/01/30/white-sox...david-robertson

Jose abreu gets #3

Sale 3

Kluber is 7

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Um... he's immensely more talented than Paulino. He has a career 3.67 era or thereabouts. Just because he was more talented before doesn't mean anything now. Hasn't pitched in the majors in 2 years and only has 7 minor league innings in that time span. Probably going to be a while before you see any resemblance of that talent if it's all still there

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 06:22 PM) My real question is why we didn't sign Chad Billingsley for 1.5 MM like the Phillies just did. Because he's essentially Felipe paulino. Hasn't pitched since April of 2013. Had Tommy John and another surgery.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) I don't understand. Their shortstop had a 2.4 WAR last year. It's not a weakness for them. Their SS is as good as Alexei for waaaaay less money. What shortstop for them had a 2.4 war. Ruben tejada had a 1.3 war and wilmer flores had a .2 war according to baseball reference. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tejadru01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/florewi01.shtml

The 10 best starting pitchers and 1st baseman is tonight starting at 8

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 29, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) It has "competitive" written all over it. Not contender. We have a s***-tastic back end of the rotation and three black holes in the lineup. I also wouldn't be surprised at a high 3's ERA out of Shark. Hardly many teams have great back end of rotations. I wouldn't say our back end is s*** tastic. Danks should at minimum he can be a inning eater. Plus cooper has been working with noesi and danks this offseason to be better. These were during sox fest. Coop wants 33 starts 200 innings from Danks. Cut down on walks and home runs. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/559404161968898048 Coop on Noesi: I've got plans for this guy to nail down that spot. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/559402418958774272 Merkin said in his mail bag on the white sox site that cooper has been working with danks on lower arm level and lower leg kick.

Good one lol http://www.southsidesox.com/2015/1/28/7933...eason-tradition

I'm kinda hoping tony campana gets the 4th outfield spot. That speed along with bonifacio, eaton and johnson would be awesome.

White Sox have 10 days to trade Viciedo . Seattle always liked the player . Many conversations but no deal . https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/560523050400354305

Hahn said last week he'd be interested in "somebody who could maybe play against lefties and play good defense at third, short, second." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/560522877208784897 chisox view micah johnson and carlos sanchez as competing for 2b job. bonifacio & beckham provide vet depth. https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/560522391382933504

Gordon Beckham hit .293/.349/.431 vs LHP in '14. Gives #WhiteSox platoon option for Conor Gillaspie or Micah Johnson & strong glove at 2B. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/560520189021007872

GM Rick Hahn on signing of Gordon Beckham: 1 yr, $2 million. http://t.co/ptRPyfumnZ https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/560519428530393088

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) So is Rodon expected to start off in the pen or as a starter? It looks like Hahn said both. LHP Carlos Rodon has 'a real shot' to start the season in the majors, White Sox GM Rick Hahn said. Read/listen: http://t.co/odpy2ybRWB https://twitter.com/670TheScore/status/558732606154764288

Media session going on now with Hahn. Rick Hahn: "We view ourselves as a contender." #SoxFest2015 https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/558725040989282305 Hahn: "Our absolute intent and belief is that we are going to contend this year." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/558725189648015360 Rick Hahn: "We don't do this just to win 80 games. We do this to play deep into October." #SoxFest2015 #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/JJStankevitz/status/558726388765949954 Rick Hahn says Carlos Rodon and Frank Montas could work their way to MLB rotation through the bullpen. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/JJStankevitz/status/558725364340764674 Carlos Rodon will enter spring training as a starter, says #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn. Nothing finalized re: Bullpen/rotation in 2015. https://twitter.com/JJStankevitz/status/558725807942930432 White Sox still may be in market for bullpen depth. Rick Hahn also said good def. infielder who can hit vs. LHP. T. Saladino an option. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/558727712899342339

Mlb network did there top 40 breakout performers of 2014. Abreu got #2 behind kluber. Can't wait to see what abreu does this year.
