Heads22 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I might just take him over Randy Williams at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 That would be crazy if he was on the Sox in a pennant race in September. Crazy in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Law Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I guess I'll finally have something to talk about if he comes through B'ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Ozzie Ball Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 This is quite exciting. Viciedo, Hudson, Flowers, and now Sale all on the cusp of the Majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not true. He had Sale ranked 47th coming into the draft, he never liked him like others did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
