Josh,

I'm more than willing to admit that I don't give Sale his due as a great pitcher. The media market and his coverage isn't very good despite the numbers he puts up. If Sale were on the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Chris Sale would be a household name.

I would love him on the Royals!!!

Side note.......Users or not, Bonds and Clemens were the absolute very best of their time, and rank among the greats. Even juicing, the pitcher still has to throw the ball with expertise, and the batter still has to square up the ball and hit it. Tremendous skill is still required regardless of " enhancement " or not.

By comparison, Dodgers "#2 starter" Kazmir gave up 7 walks in 6 2/3 tonight. Against the worst hitting team in the majors. He's #2 alright. Despite being tops in the NL West 3 years running, the organization is wasting the career of their best pitcher since Koufax.

I realize how early it is in his career, but 'Thor' is having elite-level results - if he stays healthy...wow!


Of course, I'm not sure if he has even had his first Tommy John - which has seemingly become almost a right of passage.


Back in my playing days, a really good curveball was termed a 'Double-Yellow Hammer'.

well duh syndergaard is very good, been impressed with him since he ptiched against la in the playoffs last year. he has the electric fb, but it's rare to see command and control on his secondary stuff this early. he should have multiple cy youngs and no hitters in his future...and should be a perennial CY favorite starting next year.
