All right. So Chuck Garfin here, the White Sox hitters camp going on right now in Glendale, Arizona.

We're going to be doing a podcast tomorrow with a special guest who is taking part in the camp.

He'll be our eyes and our ears to everything that's going on with Luis Robert, Elohimenez, Jake Berger,

Yohan Moncada, et cetera, et cetera. So be on the lookout for that. In the meantime, I wanted to focus not on the hitters, but on the White Sox pitchers, in the major leagues, and the minor leagues. And to do that, we've got the best guy in the organization to talk about them. Longtime White Sox pitching coach, one of my favorite people, the one and only, Don Cooper. We're going to hit on a whole lot of topics. Culpac Hanson, Nate Jones, Rodon, Soria, Gialito, Lopez, new catcher Wellington Castillo. He also gives the one guy he thinks is going to make a big splash in 2018. It's a minor

league guy. So that and a whole lot more coming up on the White Sox Talk podcast with Don Cooper.

Here we go.

Is this the birthday boy on the phone? Don Cooper?

This is him. This is him. Ready to talk some more.

So you had your birthday yesterday. What did you do? What did Don Cooper do on his 35th birthday?

Well, you know, we did some things Friday night. We did some things Saturday.

Yesterday we basically had a cake and set my son off to school. But I got to say, I did something

cool. I thought, you know, my wife and I have been saving t-shirts over the years. And I'm

talking about from 2003, you know, not only baseball t-shirts over the years. And I'm talking about from 2003.

You know, not only baseball t-shirts, but every t-shirt,

end-door shirt or sweatshirt my kids have worn or bought or purchased or places we've

gone.

And I took them to a guy and got three, and I'm waiting for three more, but I've got three quilts,

and I'll call them White Sok quilts, and they came out unbelievably good, so I gave each one,

I want each one of my kids.

So, you know, that's what I've been doing, white sock-wise, really.
