April 17, 20188 yr Where is Alec Hansen? What is he doing? How is his fore arm? Enough of the secrecy please. Knowing our luck with injuries lately, he's probably working out with Carlos Rodon
April 17, 20188 yr He's ramping up throwing in AZ. Sox don't give daily updates on guys in the minors, so don't expect much info.
April 17, 20188 yr Why would Hansen working out with Rodon be a bad thing? Hell, if they were rehabbing together, I think that would be wonderful. Who better to mentor Hansen than a professional pitcher with a ceiling like that?
April 18, 20188 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 12:11 PM) Why would Hansen working out with Rodon be a bad thing? Hell, if they were rehabbing together, I think that would be wonderful. Who better to mentor Hansen than a professional pitcher with a ceiling like that? If Hansen is not throwing minor league innings by June 1st I would be concerned. As of right now we all can be patient.
April 20, 20188 yr Eric Longenhagen @longenhagen 1m Saw him walking around in shorts and a tee shirt this week. Was told it's going to be a while before he even gets on a mound. Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Alec Hansen still working his way back at extended. Needs to get back to feeling completely healthy and then build back up for time lost
April 21, 20188 yr Given how much attention is being paid to the farm system, it'd be nice if the Sox were more forthcoming with injury developments regarding their top prospects. Edited April 21, 20188 yr by maxjusttyped
April 21, 20188 yr I'm concerned about this. Reminding me a lot of Rodon's injury and how it was "reported".... I also recall reading recently that the complaint that Hansen had to begin this often times has lead to TJS.

I get wanting to be careful with a top prospect, but no information in this case is scary.

Maybe there is no information because they have none. What would there be to gain by withholding injury info about a top prospect?

May 2, 20187 yr Hahn mentioned his forearm soreness has subsided and he will start bullpen sessions next week https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/white-sox-wont-rush-michael-kopech-to-majors/c-274730372
May 2, 20187 yr Rick Hahn chooses his words carefully. Hansen’s pain has “subsided” . That doesn’t sound good after all these weeks of rest. Enough with the bad luck!
May 22, 20187 yr Bill Mitchell @billazbbphotog Interesting rehab pitching match-up in extended spring training game between #Indians #Whitesox - Rob Kaminsky & Alec Hansen
May 22, 20187 yr Very happy to see this. Was hoping Hansen would have been pushing towards AAA at this point of 2018, but stuff happens. Hopefully he steps back into where he left off.

May 22, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, DirtySox said: Luis Robert! (Unsure if you are joking around) Lol...I did not connect those dots. Probably because Caulfield has been calling Basabe “Lou Bob” since Spring Training. Thanks for clearing that up.
May 22, 20187 yr Robert back in full game action before June is a pretty good outcome for that injury. Must not have had any setbacks. He should be out of the woods now, presumably he's been swinging a bat full bore for a week or so now.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yes, I wrote that all of 4-5 times, 6 weeks ago. Let chaos and confusion reign! The fact of the matter is Robert hasn’t been playing for weeks. If he had been listed in the minors reports every night like The Besssss, or Lamantha, no confusion.
