Sadly, I’m starting to believe that first call post lockout was to lock down Joe Kelly per Tony’s request.

I think it was to the A’s GM

I think it's entirely possible/likely that you're right, and I lol'd to myself thinking about how absurd that is. So many great players available... and they prioritized Joe Kelly. It would be so White Sox for that to be true.

Maybe Hahn didn't see no teams being interested in prospects from the worst farm system in baseball coming

Umps are checking guy's gloves and hats in Spring Training....hell if a guy wants to trick his way on to a roster shouldn't it be on the team to catch him??

Hahn was shocked other teams also valued starting pitching. He was caught off guard. Thought he found a market inefficiency 

Not upgrading backup C is yet another off-season failure for Hahn

TA pulling the ball in both of his AB's is interesting to see
