Passan highlights Royals passing on Chris Sale
Seems like he starts with the Royals and drives it home at the end with them, other teams passed his ass too when he was labeled a 'reliever'.

I'd never bitch at a system for having a guy use a curve over a slider. If you want TJ, the slider is the quickest path to it. Fastball, curveball, change.

I love me some curveball. Wish the strike zone would be called like in the rule book to call a 12-6 curve that crosses the plate at the knees but gets to the catcher low a strike.

For a guy like Sale, who throws practically sidearm, throwing a consistently controllable strike from that arm angle with the curve is much more difficult. Some guys are just better suited to throwing a slider than a curve. Should be about the individual, not the the model.

Hated the Colon pick. Not sure I would have gone with Sale, but didn't think Colon looked like much.

Did Ventura really allow Sale to throw 127 pitches? Someone's been attending Trey Hillman's academy.

What did the KCR see in Colon, and why has is not materialized on the farm?
