Chris Sale has 56 wins. Why are we even talking about him? Revisit in 5 years.

Idk, maybe because of almost 1,000 K's through his age 26 season. Certainly has the looks of getting to 3k.

Felix will be a HOF'ER, if healthy. He played on bad Mariners teams and doesn't have many wins. Gunna hold him back too? Pointless column is Wins.

Would anyone consider these guys the best at their respective positions for 5-10 years? Probably not. Maddux "yes", Glavine "yes" Pedro "yes". Sale "not yet" Hernandez "no", Jack Morris "no" etc.

I think Sale will get there if he stays healthy. He's up there with Kershaw etc.

I'm biased but I like Sale and would take him over Kershaw Kershaw get's to face a pitcher at bat about 50 times a year and he also has done dung in the playoffs.

Also if he weren't on the Sox his record would be just a tad better. WE SUCK. Look at poor Quintana most ND's over the last 4 years in baseball.

I would say Sale and Felix are the best pitchers in the AL and 2/3 in all of baseball behind Kershaw for the past few years, so yes.

Sale seems to be competing every year for the strikeout title.

He's got 220k's this year his career high is 226 he's being compared to Randy Johnson more and more lately and that makes me one happy Sox fan !!! If he can even come close to what Johnson did

I like both guys and think they are dominant just want to see them do it for longer before I declare them HOFers.

But I do think regardless of league that Kershaw is the most dominant pitcher to come along in a while.

Oh for sure! 100% agree. Was just saying they've been dominant for 5+ years or so (except Sale this is his 5th great season), but I'll feel a lot more comfortable with another 5-7+ solid years.

Oh yes, he's truly amazing. If he continues injury free, could be top-5 lefty.
