    Gerrit Cole is the only difference between the Sox rotation and the Yankees. Granted, it is a good difference to have. But then, I did not think the goal here was "better rotation than the Sox."..
    Only "better" than a rotation that is only "better" than an "expansion team's rotation."

    Seems to me the Yankees have a few health question marks in the rotation too.

    We all know what the realities and risks are. No need to try to rub our noses in it like you did there with Richards and Eovaldi. That's bullshit.

    In some ways, they have more questions than ours has, but they also have more options, especially young ones.

    Sale threw off a mound, lightly, for the first time since surgery.

    He seems to be behind. I wonder if the neck and covid issue set him back

    Funny how your bias impacts your analysis. I think the more appropriate analysis would be "he is not being rushed back" rather than "he seems to be behind"

    If he doesn't pitch in games this year, I'm not bothered. As long as he's 100% ready for 2022, I'm good.

    If we're not in contention by August (which seems less likely by the day, but still possible), I would want him to be shut down.

    Personally I'd like to see him this year.

    I'm expecting him to be 1995 Roger Clemens and have a .667 winning percentage when he comes back

    I would, too, and if they think it would help his progress, they won't hold him back out of fear of injury. They will just limit his pitch count and tell him not to overdo it.

    Each side has a bias.

    They could tell him, but Chris Sale only has one gear. Better they keep finding ways to delay.

    This is why I've never counted on the idea of Sale as a midseason infusion to the rotation. The worst factor for a completely healthy comeback might be the '21 Sox in a pennant race... unless, maybe they give him the Whitlock treatment.

    I'm confident that the team will look after him properly.

    Here is a recent photo of Chris Sale, he seems to have put on a few pounds since last year
