maggsmaggs Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I don't have Insider, so I am curious if Keith Law decided to snub one of baseball's best pitchers in his 25 under 25. Nevermind that Sale is one of the best 25 players in baseball regardless of age, I want to see if Law snubbed our Ace in his 25 players under 25 years of age. Anyone care to post where or if Sale is on the list? Edited January 13, 2013 by maggsmaggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sale was at 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Says he would have him in the top 10 but says injury concerns prevents that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is fair, since in the excerpt it says "To be clear: This is a ranking of how I would order these players if I were starting a franchise and would have them for the next several years, not just 2013." Sale, without his injury risks, is probably one of the top three pitchers you would want to start a franchise with, but alas, he has these issues. Same with Strasburg. Could become a stud or become Kerry Wood. That's the risk. Edited January 13, 2013 by maggsmaggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 All pitchers are tremendous injury risks. Scouting is notoriously poor at predicting these things. Just part of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Strasburg is better than Sale, but he's also had TJ and got shutdown last year. Edited January 13, 2013 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list has other guys that were on the DL at some point do not see them getting little smart ass injury comments. Law has always had a Sox bias.

I know they have some big time potential, but Chris has done it over the course of a season, while these two clearly have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have some big time potential, but Chris has done it over the course of a season, while these two clearly have not. I can understand Moore. He's more or less even with Sale in terms of stuff. But Sale has much better command. As for Parker, he's a good pitcher, but nothing spectacular. Although I can see him putting up numbers Sale put up last year, just not as many Ks. Edited January 14, 2013 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but the difference is Sale has done it over a much longer sustained period than the others...seems like he's not getting enough credit for that.
