The Chicago White Sox Pitching Staff in 2012 was led by Rookie Left-Hander Chris Sale who dominated at times and really never hit a slump. Due to make some $600K in 2013 the Pale Hose Bras inked him to a new $32.5 Million Deal that will keep him on the South Side through 2019. Sale would have been eligible for that dreaded word Arbitration in 2014 but He and the Chi Sox avoid that. Sale was 17.8 in 2012 with a 3.05 ERA in 192 Innings striking out 192 while only giving up 51 free passes. His Three Year Total with the Pale Hose is 21-11. Sale comes from Lakeland, Florida Senior HS the same Senior HS that produced Gator Nation and the NFL's Pouncey Twins (Steelers Maurkice and Dolphins Micheal).
The Man #2 in Pinstripes calls "Mo"... RHP Mariano Rivera will call it quits after the 2013 Season as he is the All-Time Saves Leader in the Show as we go to press. Mo leads Former Padres Closer Trevor Hoffman 608 to 601 as they are #1 and #2 on the All-Time Saves List. The next closest Active Saves Leader is the Rangers Joe Nathan with 298 saves. A career 76-58 with a 2.21 ERA and having reached at least 30 Saves in 14 of his 17 seasons is remarkable. He also has reached 40 plus Saves Six of those 14 times. Mo will try to add to his 608 and for Yankees Nation add to his Bling on his way to Cooperstown.Note: Chris Sale Stats from WhiteSox.com and Mo Rivera Stats from Baseball-Reference.com
