Quin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The way I look at Walsh v. Sale... If Walsh took 1913 off as planned or had reduced his workload in previous years, we could be talking about one of the best pitchers of all time, not just the White Sox. For a seven year stretch he was other worldly. And Chris Sale has a chance to surpass Walsh as the best pitcher in White Sox history. We're pretty lucky that that's a possibility.

Panerista Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Sale is by far the best pitcher I have seen in White Sox pinstripes. Like a lot of us here, I feel like Buehrle might be more important looking back depending on how the rest of Sale's career turns out, but in terms of stuff and talent, it's Sale by a mile. It all comes down to whether or not the White Sox are able or willing to pay him after this current contract.

Soxfest Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) This is sort of off-topic, but do you guys think that Danks will get into the HOF when he retires? My friend said that he has a shot. I was laughing hysterically, but I was wondering if anyone thought the same. Your friend is nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Lol, thanks for the responses guys. That's what I was thinking too. He's a good friend of mine, so I don't want to seem like a dick, but I think he is nuts. Even his best seasons weren't that impressive.

How much and how long do you think they'd extend him for? We all know that his stuff will decline a little bit with age, so I wouldn't want him to become another Danks like contract.

Does your friend know what WAR is? I'm honestly flabbergasted. This has to be top five dumb baseball opinions I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I dunno though. John Danks may be the only pitcher in history to win in a stadium black-out. Almost wanna get Chuck Norrisy with Danks now Edited August 29, 2015 by Jerksticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
