Red Sox notebook: Chris Sale makes fast first impression

FORT MYERS — Chris Sale is already standing out.

The 6-foot-6 lefty is listed at just 180 pounds, but his lanky frame did not keep him from flying by the dozen or so Red Sox pitchers he raced against during wind sprints at the end of a workout at JetBlue Park yesterday. Sale showed surprising speed as he finished far in front of the others.

On the mound, Sale threw a bullpen session at the same time as David Price and Rick Porcello, among others, offering the Red Sox a glimpse at their three aces, each with a unique style of pitching.
