January 23, 201511 yr Hahn on the Score at 11. Probably be a bunch of interviews all weekend. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/670-the-score-interviews/
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) 1) We did homework on the guys and pursued them as far as we could, but didn't feel that there was a fit, Regarding Yoan Lopez specifically, we felt that a 100% tax on overage charges didn't justify the cost of bringing him in. Had we done so, it would have cost nearly 2 times the value of his contract and would limit other potential signings we could make outside of him, so we just didn't feel that was the right opportunity. 2) We are always looking to improve the team and we have been in contact with a few players, but we can't say one way or the other whether or not we will obtain these players. this is my attempt of kissarse and brown-nosing. but i am serious. this is 1 of the best sites of posters who are willing to help. many thanks. can i respond to this or make a general statement as a counter??

January 23, 201511 yr Hahn saying they could conceivably start the season with 4 lefties in the rotation
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Hahn saying they could conceivably start the season with 4 lefties in the rotation to the best of your knowledge, who are the 4.... thanks in advance.
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) to the best of your knowledge, who are the 4.... thanks in advance. Sale, Quintana, Danks, Rodon
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:21 PM) Sale, Quintana, Danks, Rodon dang it, that is what i thought.
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) dang it, that is what i thought. When GMs say they could "conceivably" do something, it's as empty and vague as a statement can get and it means nothing at all. I could conceivably drive to Chicago right now and go to Soxfest because I have a car and enough money to pay for gas and a scalped ticket, but it's not going to happen.

January 23, 201511 yr Hey Mr Hahn and the sox brass. the sox is in need of a good starting pitchers who can provide a backup plan if a pitcher gets injured and / or to help rest the rotation for the playoff....
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) These tweets summarize it pretty well... https://twitter.com/670TheScore This is the most interesting. I also like to hear that the Sox took advantage of the lost season by seeing what some of these guys were made of. 670 The Score @670TheScore · 2h 2 hours ago Hahn says last year's bullpen was "such a mess" that he gave Ventura freedom to experiment with relievers to learn more about them

January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) Pretty sure that someone is Davidson if he gets his s*** together You can't argue with a 30 homer ceiling.

January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:08 PM) Pretty sure that someone is Davidson if he gets his s*** together if he can hit avg 240+ with his power, it can be what he is saying. again trying to pull the wool over our eyes, by implying that the sox are looking. instead of saying that they are hoping that Davidson can rebound and will not spend nothing more.
January 23, 201511 yr Did Hahn say it's conceivable BA makes the roster, or do you have to draw the conceivable line somewhere?
January 23, 201511 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) You can't argue with a 30 homer ceiling. This is why I'm still on his bandwagon. Even though he struggled heavily last season. He still hit 20+ HRs. With how the league is scarce with power, you don't give up on that. Especially since last year was his first bad year professionally.

I'm sure a lot of us would take .240 AVG with 25-30 HRs.

Really 3b is up to Davidson. If he hits, he will steal the job from Conor. If not, he won't. Defense won't really matter because Conor isn't very good either.
