Sale is elite but Thor might be better. Thor makes it look so effort less and he doesn't seem to have those 3+ run innings sale has here and there. And sale is fragile as hell I would take Thor over him.

Sale gonna make it to 34 before he gets hurt and people gonna be able to finally say "see I told you"

Sale is fragile? :heh:

192, 214, 174, 208 IP has last four seasons

Hes not close to 'fragile' and can consistently pitch late into games

When healthy he can go 8-9 but dude stay taking trips to the DL over the dumbest shyt like moving boxes out if his car.
Annual Chris Sale injury scare results in first trip to disabled list

I know but for the most part over 4 years he's been good for 30+ starts and around 200 IP

He was awkward when he came into the league but he's definitely grown into his frame now

Best is still to come with him over next 5 years

Is we re talking pure stuff though, Syndergaards tough to beat with that velocity on his break but Sale is coming in with a 97 Mph fastball consistently too with that slide piece

Carlos Rodon has a :wow: slider as well

He just turned 23 this winter and was a rookie. He's gonna crush this season

I hope so man. I remember watching Sonny grays first ever start I think it was 2 seasons ago at Toronto. This tiny little kid walks up to the mound and he has a rough start and I'm like this kid has no business being here and all of sudden he's an ace same thing with archer when I first saw him lol.

If Bregman continues to hit we can trade him for pitching. He should be ready real soon plus he's blocked by correa
I dont know if I would like that move. We could use a 3rd baseman with a rake, Valbuena aint gonna cut it long term. There's been plenty of examples of SS moving to 3rd and having success.
