Being a levery lefty with a sidearm delivery doesn’t make you Chris Sale.
He’s a probable mid-rotation arm who may develop into a 2 someday. But he doesn’t have anything in his arsenal that looks to project even at a 70, let alone the two 80 grade pitches Sale had.
At 22 he’s a solid selection but I don’t imagine he’s going wow anyone for most of his career.

I was in the Royals thread before the draft hyping up Hjerpe. Then the Cardinals got him and I was like dammit I'm gonna have to open that Cardinals thread for the first time and make sure they are sufficiently optimistic.
When he gets Cy Young votes in a few years I am going to remind you that you didnt think of him as a Cy Young candidate, DJLN!
Mark my words!
Also I didnt know JR was a Cardinals fan. I thought Cardinals were catholic? Lol!!!!!
