Here are the tweets from seminars from day 3 (day 2 for me since I did not attend the Friday ceremonies. That is something to remedy for 2012). Enjoy them. Up tomorrow will be my thoughts and opinions on some of the things that I learned at the seminars.
Morning! Final day of #SoxFest starting. Like yesterday, I will be live-tweeting what’s happening. #WhiteSox
Final day of #SoxFest (@ SoxFest 2011 w/ 8 others) http://4sq.com/fjQyg5
Fans wonders if chance for #WhiteSox to draft above slot. Traditionally they haven’t & draft based on value. … http://tmi.me/5Qaxu
Did go over slot on danks & beckham. There have been guys in the past that gone over slot. #WhiteSox #SoxFest basically get the best guy.
Hahn asked again about his future. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
As for #Mets job, hahn says it wasn’t close enough fit for him. Says not going until he finds right fit. Very happy … http://tmi.me/5Qbl9
Guy asking thoughts on chicago media & specifically uncle phil’s whining bout #WhiteSox farm systemm #SoxFest
Hahn says the org isn’t paying attention to rankings etc. Care more about what helps system. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Buddy Bell says reporters call & get info from them. Not as accurate as reporters might want. Rather critical of uncle phil. #SoxFest
Laumann & Bell care more about KW & Oz opinion than the likes of uncle phils. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Hahn’s rejection from Jerry Reinsdorf won him $25 in a best rejection letter at Kellogg. #WhiteSox #SoxFest #Northwestern
Team philosophy being discussed. Such as oriole way, the way twins do things. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Bell says #WhiteSox don’t do anything different pe se than twins or orioles. Basically do same thing. Demand … http://tmi.me/5QeNI
Stress of continuity in instruction and it is stressed in #WhiteSox org. Just not trumpeted as it is in twins org. #SoxFest
Great deal of continuity on pitching side. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Fan asks about abundance of pitching vs positional prospects. Laumann says there is focus on both & harder to … http://tmi.me/5Qfod
Also scouting thing. Org sees itself as a power pitching org. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Without pitching, you can’t win. Strong emphasis on pitching. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Bell thinks it is easier to teach a guy who throws 90 than teaching a guy to hit. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
With hitting, bell thinks more about getting reps not mechanical tweaks like with pitching. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Most valuable thing in the game: PITCHING! #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Fan asks if #WhiteSox would have made deal that #Cubs did for Garza. #SoxFest
Hahn: know ur guys better than other team does. Also know if willing to trade doesn’t mean given up farm. Also … http://tmi.me/5QglG
If trade moves from 80 to 83 wins maybe not worth it vs 90 to 93 wins. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Fundamentally there are no untouchables. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Fan ask about 2007 season & if trade of john danks/ floyd. They’d have listened, but again, look at big pic. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Message on player development, every guy is diff & every guy has to be treated as such to best develop them. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Bell speaking highly of little Danks (jordan) cc: @AJRoxMyWhiteSox. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Bell anxious for fans to see some of the guys from the minors such as phaegley, escobar, few others. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Keep your ears perked and eyes open for stuff on Escobar. Bell is really excited about him. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Next session: what goes on in the dugout. #SoxFest. #WhiteSox
Oz, harold baines, stoney, jeff cox, juan nieves #WhiteSox #SoxFest http://plixi.com/p/71971802
Oz says last few days of ST tough due to the last couple roster spots, making sure guys healthy coming back to chicago. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Oz says has it easy cause he trust his coaching staff. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Baines tells players how many outs there are, to look at OF & he keeps an eye on Oz in case Oz wants that guy to run. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Cox says he has to pick up Oz. You just have to see Cox. Beyond hysterical!!!! #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Oz just busted on Cox’s english speaking ability. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Cox & Oz just complimented AJ on his base running intelligence. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Talking about how there is too much info for guys now. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Back in the day, just talked the game. Now 30 second after at bat, can go see it. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Stoney: good managers understand what his players can do. Great managers understand what their players CAN’T do. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Stone considers Oz in great group. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
To be a closer, mentally harder to prepare. OZ #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Jenks was very tough mentally according to Oz. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Oz demands a lot of his coaches. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Oz calming guys: juan & harold. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
If you think oz stories are good, you have to hear jeff cox’s. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Lot of questions on closers which leads to conversation on how game has evolved. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Oz not a fan of the quality start stat. #WhiteSox
How many innings you want ur guy to go? Um 9??? #WhiteSox
Baines: I don’t like strike outs. You’re not helping your team. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
“Joe crede was awesome” — Oz #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Joe was also weird. Not because he was quiet but because he would stare at his glove for an inning. — Oz. Oz loves joe. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
When cabrera & dye were fighting in kc, people ask oz why he didn’t stop. Oz -i I want to see them fight. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Dye cabrera fight came up because of players policing themselves & not it being on the manager. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
#WhiteSox #SoxFest session 3 sox memories. Ron karkovice, dj, roberto hernandez, jose valentin. http://plixi.com/p/71981653
Jose Valentin best times with sox games against cubs. Also talking about fight against detroit. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Best 5 yrs of career spent in chicago — Jose Valentin #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Karko talking about sitting behind Fisk. Karko says was a good exp those 5 years. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Hernandez says his being behind thigpen was similar to karko fisk situation. #WhiteSox #SoxFest

Hernandez says fans are best in the world & chicago is home to him. #WhiteSox #SoxFest

Questions about thoughts on 94 strike season & feelings on it being done. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Hernandez says 94 team was best they had. Belived they would be back. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
For Valentin, 94 was his rookie year. Painful cause got chance to play everyday then done. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Karko says he felt as Hernandez felt. While team fell short in 93, 94 was a better team. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
What was the worst nickname hawk gave u DJ? DJ response — all of them. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
DJ didn’t enjoy facing greg maddux. But he really hated the soft-tossing lefties. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
DJ did like facing Joe Magrane. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Valentin’s mustache more gray, so trimming it down low. Fan told jose that he and his friends love it. #WhiteSox #SoxFest

Santos discussing his first time going into a mlb game to pitch. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Jackson discussing his no-hitter. Funny due to pitch count and no one realizing it, ever other team. He was working … http://tmi.me/5QzEr
Jackson also talking about adjustment with #WhiteSox made with nieves & coop. #SoxFest
#Fact Jackson drafted by #Dodgers as an OF. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Jackson tries not to focus on where pitches go & what they look like during warm-ups. It’s just warm up time. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Jackson doesn’t like pitching at places where ball flies. Such as yankee stadium. Detroit he likes. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Santos loves that Chicago is great sports town. Wants all the teams to succeed, except one. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
After pitching, jackson & santos both say don’t go to bed right away when get home (night game) due to being so wound up. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Juan Pierre 1st guy at park and will get there around 11:30 am. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Nieves & Coop won’t ask the pitchers how they feel. They know the guys will say they feel great. Give benefit … http://tmi.me/5QBnE
When Jackson came to #WhiteSox wanted to not be the weakest link (team was on a roll at the time) #SoxFest
Jackson not big on making excuses. (On his performance in AZ) #WhiteSox
Santos enjoys challenge of facing hitters. #WhiteSox #SoxFest
Jackson didn’t like facing l gonzales or mike lowell. #WhiteSox #SoxFest

Steve stone unfortunately not around to translate for Jeff Cox. #WhiteSox

There you have it. Although this post and the previous one were long, I hope you got valuable information (both funny and serious) about the wonderful team that many of us love. I’m just glad that my tweets didn’t land me in twitter jail during the event as that would not have been good.
