That's how you do it up. Nice work.

Still totally THRILLED with this pick.

Merkin thinks, that he'll start at either Class A Kannapolis or Class A Winston-Salem. Laumann's thoughts: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/video/play...61&c_id=cws

In all seriousness, anyone worried about his arm-angle or the fact that Brent Lillibridge could clearly kick his a$$?

I don't get the Lilli thing at all.

 

Still very amped over this pick.

I don't care if Lillibridge could kick his ass. Put him in the box against Sale, and he'd start him out with a change, follow it up with a sinking fastball, and then ace him with a breaking ball. This kid can pitch.

He certainly can ... was just joking about his size. I am worried about the arm angle, but they will fix that up... Great pick hopefully

I'm a little worried by the mechanics. He does repeat his delivery very well though which is key.

Anyone know what kind of bonus he will command?

The White Sox have picked Indiana St. RHP Jacob Petricka with their pick in the second round today.

He lost ~10 lb earlier this year in a bout of food poisoning.

Mitchell has an outstanding sense of humor, and Beckham seems like a kid that recognizes how talented he is and takes it in stride. Sale seems like a kid who could throw a no-hitter, and shrug it off as not a big deal.

 

He's going to have to make it a perfect game to impress anyone with the way things have been going recently in baseball.

Or, there's a sale at Penneys!

That's right, Johnny.

Sale was named a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award today.

Not sure what people saw about Law not liking him. FWIW, Law picked him as the #2 most MLB ready player in the draft behind Alex Wimmers.

 

2. Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast:

I think he could pitch in the majors inside of a year as a reliever, maybe even this fall, but that's a fantasy, as he's going to be drafted so high that he'll be used as a starter.

Everything changed the moment we drafted him.

Sale looks like Poreda and throws like Clayton Richard...it's pretty amazing to me.

It's kind of cool isn't it? If you close your eyes and imagine him learning the cutter and the Buehrle-tempo, he looks like a perfect fit for this organization. I think that in a couple of years we'll be praising a higher power that he fell into our hands.

 

Why hasn't Steve photoshopped him into Sox gear yet?

Another controversy with Ozzie and family brewing?
