There was no getting past the comparison of general manager Rick Hahn’s demeanor Thursday when he introduced Pedro Grifol as the White Sox manager to when Tony La Russa was named two years ago.
Grifol was clearly Hahn’s top choice this time, not the handpicked selection of chairman Jerry Reinsdorf as La Russa was, and it started to become clear during a first interview intended to last 90 minutes but extended to more than three hours.
