Chris Sale and Garrett Whitlock have both been members of the Boston Red Sox organization for the last three years. And yet, nearly a full month into this season, we as fans still have absolutely no idea what to expect out of either one of them. For both pitchers, the range of outcomes starts with a sad, injury-plagued, negative-WAR season on one end, and stretches all the way to a top-10 finish in the Cy Young voting on the other.
In Chris Sale, we have a pitcher whose career has been defined by his historically great stuff.
