January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) Rick Hahn in the building. KW around too?
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) I'm sure a lot of us would take .240 AVG with 25-30 HRs. well after 1 lousy yr, no one should give up on him. esp with what he brings to the table skill wise. i am going with what he has done and not what his ceiling is. so 20+ hrs, and here is what i am hoping for 240+ in avg. so why didn't Hahn just say, they are hoping for a rebound from Davidson and will address the position needs during spring training.
January 23, 201511 yr 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

January 23, 201511 yr If they're looking for a defensive infielder who can hit LHP, I wonder if Gordon Beckham is a possibility?

January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) If they're looking for a defensive infielder who can hit LHP, I wonder if Gordon Beckham is a possibility? I think Saladino is their current plan, with hopes to upgrade if an opportunity presents itself. Just my guess.
January 23, 201511 yr jon greenberg @jon_greenberg 16m16 minutes ago No Sox captain this year. Media expected to vote @scottmerkin as pressbox captain.
January 23, 201511 yr FutureSox.com @FutureSox 17m17 minutes ago Ventura on 2B - "Sanchez and Micah Johnson are fighting that out with Bonafacio but until we get ST it's open for competition."
January 23, 201511 yr So is Rodon expected to start off in the pen or as a starter? It looks like Hahn said both.
January 23, 201511 yr Already completely disorganized. They're holding people who want autographs in the seminar room and not letting them go to the autograph sessions until after the opening ceremonies.

January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Wouldnt that be to keep things more organized? Normally they open doors at 3:30 or so and let people go to whichever session they want to go to. Everyone who is not in the ceremonies room right now has almost 0 to no chance of getting an autograph or attending the first seminar. Edited January 23, 201511 yr by Sockin

So by the time those get into seminar and autograph areas the first sessions will be over with then?
January 23, 201511 yr Our guy in the media session just got 5 minutes to himself to interview Hahn. Will be posted to the blog later.
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) Hmm. So by the time those get into seminar and autograph areas the first sessions will be over with then? More or less, yes. They aren't giving wristbands to those outside of the seminar room so after the opening ceremonies, those not in the room will be pushing and shoving to get to where they want to go. If you're coming tomorrow and not staying at the hotel, you're going to have to get here at 5 or 6 in the morning to get an autograph or see Hahn and Ventura talk. Edited January 23, 201511 yr by Sockin
January 23, 201511 yr Wonder who they'll announce as the surprise signing for the opening ceremonies.

They need to have these at McCormick Place IMO. This way everyone is at the opening ceremony and easier access to pretty much everything.
January 23, 201511 yr Massive crowds forming around the '05 team, but even bigger ones forming at the Felipe Paulino Dunk Tank

First people in line for the opening ceremonies are the first ones into the fest.

Yes but they're holding the people in the room and not allowing them to go to their autograph session until after the opening.
