Today’s news

Tomorrow is the last “short” day of camp as the full squad reports on Sunday when GM Rick Hahn and manager Robin Ventura will meet with the entire club and pitchers will throw BP to hitters for the first time. One of those hitters, of course, will be slugger Adam Dunn who stopped by Camelback Ranch today.

Catcher Hector Gimenez arrived in camp and took part in workouts.

Enjoy this revealing Q&A with Courtney Hawkins, the Sox’s No. 1 draft pick in 2012:

Quote of the Day

Ventura on the importance of John Danks, who had his first bullpen session of the spring yesterday: “It’s a big one. He was our Opening Day starter last year so not having him around was a big blow. (Danks) getting healthy and being able to do the things you would expect him to do are big for us.”

 Tomorrow’s schedule

With tomorrow being the last day before the full squad reports, bullpen sessions and catchers BP will be the order of the day.

 Did you know…

...that Gordon Beckham’s father was a quarterback at the University of South Carolina?
