June 8, 201015 yr Take that Brian Morgado! Our LHP in our minors just got a s***load stronger with one guy. Still need some work, but I love Sale. Edited June 8, 201015 yr by SoxAce
June 8, 201015 yr I'll be honest, I never watched video of him as I thought there was no chance he'd be around.
June 8, 201015 yr Will be interesting to see if he gains any mph when the Sox put on 20-25 pounds on his frame.
June 8, 201015 yr (Disclaimer: I know NOTHING) After watching that 2 second video clip, I don't like that delivery AT ALL...
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 06:16 PM) I'll be honest, I never watched video of him as I thought there was no chance he'd be around. I did, but only because I usually do with the top 20 prospects (mostly the ones I've never seen before) I just can't believe how much our org. has really did a complete 180 from the Wilder days. Beckham, Mitchell and now Sale. Hopefully we can avoid the TJ (ala Nevin Griffith) however. Edited June 8, 201015 yr by SoxAce
June 8, 201015 yr Jim Callis jimcallisBA I like C.Sale a lot. Think he can be good SP, like a little more than Pomeranz. #mlbdraft less than a minute ago via UberTwitter

Beckham, Mitchell and not only did we take a LHP with potential, but he is a HIGH SCHOOLER! Hopefully we can avoid the TJ (ala Nevin Griffith) however. Thats Josh Sale.
June 8, 201015 yr Have to hand it to the Sox. They've come a long way from the Lance Broadway/Kyle McCulloch days. At least there is something to be excited for in this terrible season.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Thats Josh Sale. Bah both of you guys caught me before the quick edit. Had to do a double take. WRONG SALE! Edited June 8, 201015 yr by SoxAce
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) (Disclaimer: I know NOTHING) After watching that 2 second video clip, I don't like that delivery AT ALL... It looks like a left handed Peavy before the adjustments.
June 8, 201015 yr As an FYI, Sale was ranked as the #4 player in the draft by BaseballAmerica. That's even higher than Beckham was ranked coming out.
June 8, 201015 yr Dont know much about him, from the scouting reports I found quick, sounds a lot like Aaron Poreda with more movement and less velocity.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) (Disclaimer: I know NOTHING) After watching that 2 second video clip, I don't like that delivery AT ALL... I thought the same thing. From reading comments, I should be extremely happy, but his motion makes me think of Mike MacDougal.

June 8, 201015 yr Now... fathom, Dirty, Jeff.. anyone you eying for the second pick that might fall? Edited June 8, 201015 yr by SoxAce

He's not at all. The only similarity is that they're both lefties. Sale has great command of 3 pitches.
