Before Monday's rain finally forced the White Sox to postpone their opener, general manager Rick Hahn beamed about the prospects likely to excite South Siders this season more than anything that happens at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Until the first hotshot rookie arrives as early as late May, that is.
That could be second baseman Yoan Moncada, whose habit of binge-eating Twinkies by the box came as news to Hahn. Not that it fazed Hahn after the Sox's odd experience with former string-bean shortstop Alexei Ramirez, a Cuban, like Moncada, forced to adapt to American culture.
