Theory: The sox were so confident after the November 19th meeting with harper that they have shifted their total focus to him and thus not quite as active in the starting pitching market.

Nope.

I'll take your word for it. But from what Hahn said today, it sort of seems like it

Hey raBBit, you have any idea what guys they may be looking at now?

I should have elaborated whitesoxwinner that's my bad. I disagree with the part about them not pursuing pitching and focusing on Harper. They're on other players that aren't Harper and would include pitcher.

I am not sure how much there is to do with Harper. Obviously it's one of the sport's biggest if not the biggest free agent pursuit ever. It's this or A-Rod back in the early 2000's. Regardless, Boras and/or Harper control the pace. I think the Sox just have a waiting game with sporadic efforts towards due diligence to make sure they're not getting played. I think most of the heavy lifting is done.

Thanks raBBit. I knew I was probably wrong. I could see them also focusing on a guy like Dallas Keuchel, for instance. Do you think Boras will convince harper not to sign next week and wait some more?

Keuchel does have some Buehrle qualities that I could see them being interested in.
