May 23, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 23, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) Sale is great. Hopefully he'll get to a point where he can be relied on for 32-33 starts on a yearly basis. Honestly, I'll take 25 starts a year from him for next 5 years and be happy with it.

May 23, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 23, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) I think he's the best pitcher in the AL and it's not particularly close, and the only other pitcher I can even rate on his level is Kershaw. Scherzer, before his start against the Indians, had the numbers to go up against anyone. And it's hard to say that about Sale unless he goes through 2-3 more seasons of 30+ starts. He's never going to be Mark Buehrle durable, but.... http://espn.go.com/mlb/features/cyyoung Cueto and Tanaka are deserving of consideration overall, as well. Verlander's clearly going backwards. Curt Young (A's pitching coach) with Grey, Chavez and Kazmir (two reclamation projects if there ever were) should be MVP...considering all the injuries that staff has overcome.

May 23, 201411 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 11m If it feels like a strange season, this could help explain it: W Sox 13-8 vs teams at or over .500, and 11-17 vs teams under .500.
