right now Sale has almost no chance at all. He doesn't have the resume that would garner any serious consideration for a pitcher. A non 20 win pitcher with a mid 2 ERA is not going to get much serious consideration at all whatsoever.

And I'm sorry but to act like pitchers can't control extra base hits is why I have such a huge problem with advanced metrics. And why they haven't taken over like they could. Because traditional voters know that pitchers absolutely control more batted balls than just home runs.
