Thanks!

Awesome! Have a great time, raBBit. Make sure you close down the hotel bar every night. That's where the stories are!

Most Fan Fests and Conventions feature their minor leaguers and retired players/ambassadors even moreso than the White Sox do. The Sox actually do a great job of getting current players from their roster to come year after year, especially right before Spring Training. At the Blackhawks convention for example, you have to be VIP hotel guest or "win" a scratch-off (near impossible) to get to meet any player(s) from current team. The Brewers make attendees pay extra for current and popular players.

if someone can asked a couple of questions for me.

 

1. how come the sox haven't gone after some of the Cubans that were

just recently sign?? are they planning to going after anymore in the

immediate future??

 

Yoan Lopez could be a 1 rnd potential and all that was needed was

a signing bonus. there are others who can help the system or the

the team

 

2. are the sox going to sign or obtain any more key players to help

the team go further in the playoff??

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.
