    My offer was promptly rejected.

    You’re pure evil. I love it...

    It's amazing that teams with so much talent can play so poorly.

    It would be unwise for anyone to give up on Chris Sale, or any starter in the Red Sox rotation, for that matter.

    Let me know how it turns out for you.

    My post was evidence of how highly I and another fantasy owner value Chris Sale (and Rafael Devers).

    Is that trolling?

    It's way too early to make any predictions.

    But my team currently has a 6.5-point lead in a 10-team, 10-category mixed roto league with a $305 budget and 27 roster slots (plus five injured slots). After deducting $40 in keeper salaries, I spent $260 of the $265 available at the auction. Of the $260 spent at the auction, $115 now resides on the injured list, including a combined $95 for Trea Turner, Gary Sanchez and Justin Upton.

    However, the ultimate winner in this league, in its 29th season, is rarely the first-place team on April 16.

    Today my team lost Blake Snell to the injured list.

    Well whether Sale is hurt or not. He sucks. Plain and simple. I hope he’s hurt because that would explain it. Otherwise....... it’s the contract curse.

    His stuff was there last night, his location was not. That at least sounds like he's moving in the right direction.

    If I'm not mistaken, Sale ranks dead last in swings and misses on his fastball this season.

    He just can't seem to figure it out and piece it all together. His second start of the season, his velocity was not there at all but his command and control was fantastic after he get up the one run. Now his fast ball is seemingly back, but he was all over the place last night. We are now dead last in the league for pitching. Thank god Price seems to have got it going.

    I honestly thought that Sale threw better last night . The velocity was improved. The results sucked , but I did see a reason for some optimism going forward .

    Here’s hoping! As a huge Porcello fan it would also be a bonus to see him get his shit together.

    Porcello is starting to look like 2015 Porcello.
