Cant be any worse then Gorzey or Big Z
It's amazing just how badly the Cubs are getting trashed for this pick.
Cross,
not trying to be a downer but he was talked about coming to KC here for quite awhile and even though was thought to be at the big level within a year or two he was said to have a low ceiling and not a top 4 pitcher.
In fact, this past week they have labeld him a "situational lefty" which when puking big bucks doesnt sound really enticing.
Said he pitches down to his frame instead of staying tall and makes him a sidearmer that would be hell for the lefties but drops his 4 seam speed.

Yep, seen the projections. But the Sox will obviously have him start unless there is no other option.
That being said, he was pretty universally labeled the best college pitcher available. He was still 90-93 and touching 96 and has a frame that can still fill out some. It was a given the Sox were going the college route, and he has the highest upside of any of the arms.
I've been looking at Futuresox.com coming into the draft. And like Arson said, Sale had been tied to the Royals at number 4.
No, he's projected to be an easy sign. Teams must be scared off by his mechanics, and like Arson said, the fact that he could very well top out as a LOOGY.
Hm, RHP from Ohio State.
Looks like more of what the Twins look for, control pitcher with solid off speed stuff.
Sounds like his fastball is down around 89 already though. But Law thinks he's one of the most pro ready pitchers in the draft.
