Is he really going to be ready in six weeks?

I might just take him over Randy Williams at this point.

That would be crazy if he was on the Sox in a pennant race in September. Crazy in a good way.

Besides Thornton, do we have a better lefty anywhere in the organization to pitch out of the pen?

 

All this guy has to be is better than Randy Williams.

Whats wrong you dont like the clown car's 2.29 WHIP.

I guess I'll finally have something to talk about if he comes through B'ham.

 

I heard today he told Royals at #4 he would want to sign for way over slot, making a lot of teams skip on him because White Sox promised him majors in August.

 

Any truth to this?

That makes for an interesting twist to say the least...

I'm less concerned with him being better than Randy Williams as I am that we'd hurt him in the long run by rushing him to the majors.

You really think a couple of innings out of the bullpen is going to hurt him?

I don't know. If he gets rocked, then maybe. Some guys are fragile mentally.

Holy s***. Thank you.

If he's fragile mentally, then it wouldn't matter when he failed though, would it? He's going to get rocked at some point.

This is definitely interesting.

 

Will we have a Mike Leake on our hands?

Didn't the Sox say something similar to Viciedo in order to sign him ? Good technique if it gets someone to sign cheaper as rarely does anyone make that kind of jump.

Keith Law doesn't think it's too far fetched

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.

 

And he doesn't even like Sale.

Being 7 strong in the rotation is nice with Peavy/Buehrle/Danks/Gavin/Freddy/Hudson/Sale

 

Interesting point is, which two aren't around next year if Sale performs as expected?

 

My guess would be Hudson (trade for LH power bat) and Freddy (not resigned)

 

This is quite exciting. Viciedo, Hudson, Flowers, and now Sale all on the cusp of the Majors.

If he's fragile mentally, then it wouldn't matter when he failed though, would it? He's going to get rocked at some point.

 

Yeah I guess so. We just get good prospects so rarely, I get scared, you know?

He wrote that before we drafted him, meaning that he still liked him at that point.

Well that's not legal.

I can't believe the sox signed him that cheaply (and that fast). That is a steal even with a "promise" to the bigs. I remember another prospect that slipped in the draft still got his dough and got his "promise" as well if I'm not mistaken.

He wrote that before we drafted him,

This is true

meaning that he still liked him at that point.

This is not true. He had Sale ranked 47th coming into the draft, he never liked him like others did.
