I love that this guy is a control pitcher, and the mound presence is there. If he ends up in the bullpen, that's ok. I like it.

I love that this guy is a control pitcher who touches 94.

Holy, s***. I just got home and we got CHRIS SALE. This is awesome. The future is starting to look like shades won't be required.

 

Isn't that a bad thing.

Kid sounds really humble. Interesting contrast to guys like Beckham and Mitchell who never shut up.

 

I didn't know Mitchell talked a lot and Beckham always seems pretty grounded in this interviews (appreciative of the opportunity and the need to prove he belongs...I don't sense any entitlement).

 

Now, Brian Anderson on the other hand...

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.

Gotcha. I thought you were saying it as a negative...

In every single mock draft I could find from sources such as baseball prospectus, espn, etc etc...

 

Every single one of them had sale going #4.

 

Awesome pick - so glad we didn't draft another Broadway :)

 

At least our drafting has improved

I'd start the kid in low A this year with hopes that maybe he can move up to high A by the end of the year if he succeeds. Then either HiA or AA to start 2011. Im guessing an ETA of around mid 2012
