I was surfing fangraphs today and came upon the Chris Sale page. Using their fastball speed charts, sale had an average:
- 95.9 mph in his rookie season of 2010
- 91.3 mph two seasons later (2012)
- 89.9 mph three seasons later (2015)
That, my roto friends, is significant decrease of speed.
That said, he lead the american league in strike outs this past season with 274.
Has he turned into the a.l. version of Greg Maddux ?

Career high in innings, K/9 and K/BB. An amazing 5 year trend of improving K/BB... 2.93, 3.76, 4.91, 5.33, 6.52.
His win totals the last 3 years were 11, 12 and 13. Maybe having Frazier and Lawrie makes the White Sox offense a little less awful?

My bigger concern is the volume of inning that bullpen is likely to pitch this year. Not sure you'll see many games pitched into the 7th outside of Sale and Quintana. You might be better off making them #'s 1 and 3 to spread out the work of the bullpen. Not a fan of Danks, and Rondon has to get his pitch count down. He only pitched into the 7th five times (although all of them came in Aug/Sept. so there's hope).Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!
