I have to say Kopech is the real deal, pair him with Rodon at the top and the Sox are going to be contending for division titles sooner than we think. He is at 97-99 easy heat. All things being equal he is going to be a monster on that mound. |

He looks good in the minors. Gotta pitch in the MLB level for me to say that. I am very optimistic about the handful of pitchers in the minors right now including Giolitto and Lopez paired with Rodon. |

One of my favorite things about Kopech is that he acts like a kingpin when he is on that mound. When you have his kind of stuff that's exactly the way he should act. It's great to see. |

Slow your roll on this. Rodon isn't even "the real deal" yet. |

None of these guys will be as good as Sale and they couldn't build a rotation around him. |

I think there was a case to be made that new people should have been brought in but it's not because they couldn't win with Chris Sale. We know they are good enough to win a World Series too. |

That's a fair point. 2005 just seems soooooo long ago. You forget that the Sox were once good, ya know. |

Chris Sale ERA by month: Apr 2.91 May 2.57 Jun 2.61 Jul 2.61 Aug 3.31 Sep 3.79 The uncomfortable truth about Chris Sale is that he is really only a 150 inning pitcher. Sox tried to remedy this last year by getting him away from the slider, but the decision to rebuild was made and the Sox abandoned it and let Sale do Sale. You combine this with his attitude problems and general craziness and he's a bit overrated. I was very happy with the decision to deal him, just not a fan of what they got in return. |

Right, the wheels come off late in the season with him. My point was he can stay healthy for well over 200 innings but he cannot keep his stuff that long. Or at least that he never did for the Sox and is trending similarly in Boston. |

A mid 3's ERA (in the AL) is the wheels coming off? |

I've felt this way about Sale for a long time. Go look at the old threads, I was nervous about holding him and Quintana past the offseason. The marginal return is a separate issue. |

Its the reason the White Sox tried to get him away from his slider last year, he loses some of his effectiveness starting around August. It has happened every year with him. |

We can filter out arbitrary endpoints with less than great starts for pretty much every great pitcher. It's a useless exercise. |

Sale is fine, he'll rest up for his October showcase, 3.30 era is a good second half in the A. L. ..that Moyer Comp is garbage ..hes Randy in the first half, Jon Lester in the 2nd half. |
