January 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Dec 31, 2012 -> 07:21 AM) They added Larussa as well as more current players. LaRussa actually called the Sox and asked if he could attend Soxfest.
January 16, 201313 yr Have any of the player schedules been released yet? I was thinking of taking my daughter to the Sunday session, but that would depend on who is there for her to get autographs.
January 22, 201313 yr Does anyone know when they'll announce which players will be there on which days? It's getting pretty close, now...

January 24, 201313 yr QUOTE (TomSeaverFan @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 08:10 AM) Carlos May? Can somebody get me his autograph? That is so cool he'll be there. Joking or serious? That guy is everywhere, whether it be Soxfest or your local baseball camp. I swear I have like 20 of his autographs by now. Anyways, missing out on Soxfest again this year. It has flat out sucked ever since they moved locations.

January 25, 201313 yr Hahn was on 670 earlier this morning and said they may have a move to announce later today. It could be Lindstrom, although that seems like bit of a cop-out, since the move reported a few days ago. I'm thinking they might have bench guy they're getting close to landing.

It could be Lindstrom, although that seems like bit of a cop-out, since the move reported a few days ago. I'm thinking they might have bench guy they're getting close to landing. I think its Lindstrom because they haven't been able to announce it yet. Hahn was on CSN the other day and noted Iguchi was acquired after Soxfest, and Thornton and Marte were spring training pick ups. Despite what several panicked posters have posted, he knows there are holes and will continue to try to fill them. I have no idea if he will be a good GM or not, but it is really unfair for anyone to take shots at him now.

I have no idea if he will be a good GM or not, but it is really unfair for anyone to take shots at him now. He did make it sound like there were a couple things in the works. I just don't think officially announcing a signing that was reported like 4 days ago is going to drive a lot of excitement at SoxFest. Then again, neither will a minor bench move. One other thing of interest from his interview was him not committing to Keppinger being the opening day 3B. Said they could still add/move some pieces that could open a spot for Keppinger elsewhere. Also said they could add left-named bat to split time with him at 3B.
January 25, 201313 yr Heard the end of the interview, and it definitely sounded like Hahn was trying to bring in a lefty hitting 3B.

January 25, 201313 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 10:52 AM) Seager? Callaspo? Neil Walker? Walker is intriguing. He'd be a trade candidate, I assume. Would the Pirates be willing to deal him?

January 25, 201313 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) Doubtful, he's a huge fan favorite there. I figured. He's from Pittsburgh, and he's the son of Tom Walker, the guy from Homeland...wait, that doesn't seem right. Edited January 25, 201313 yr by pittshoganerkoff
