8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com: very good arm, lively fb, will reach 95 on occasion, more effective down and away on RHH and in on LHH, sharp slide piece which will be very effective vs LHH in pro ball. Has been said to have added 10 mph to his fb since HS and 30 lbs which probably has put him into the most projectible to be an early 1st rounder for 2010, however, again, very early. Also pitching in the Cape this summer. 60 OFP, upside that can only get better in time! Chuck Finley anyone?
8-31: From www.baseballamerica: - Sale won the Cape's pitcher of the year award after tying for the league lead with four victories and topping the Cape with 57 strikeouts and 55 innings. He was also the East Division's MVP at the all-star game, where he required just six pitches to work a perfect inning. Sale has a lean 6-foot-6, 185-pound frame and comes at hitters from a low arm slot. His fastball sits at 90-93 mph, features good life and should continue to add velocity as he fills out. His changeup gives him an effective weapon against righthanders, while his breaking ball needs refinement.
9-16: From www.baseballamrica.com : - College Top 25 draft prospects: 5. Chris Sale, lhp Florida Gulf Coast
9-28: From http://mlbresource.blogspot.com: - Mock Draft Version 2 - #17 pick overall - Chris Sale, LHP - Florida Gulf Coast - Sale along with Pomeranz and Paxton are the best lefties in this draft and all of them will be shuffled around first round mocks. The Cubs have some real nice righties in their farm system and throwing a southpaw in the mix will give the Cubs a nice blend.
10-5 from http://mlbbonusbaby.com: 10. Oakland Athletics – Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast – (2nd LHP pick in draft) - Sale was the star of the Cape Cod League this summer, and most prospect buffs would be lying to you if they told you they knew who he was before his summer run. He’s going to battle Pomeranz and James Paxton for the top lefty in the college class during the spring, and there’s a good chance Sale comes out ahead. He’s also big, standing at 6′6”, but he’s projectable too, as he might be able to add a good twenty pounds to his frame. He’s got a plus fastball with good movement and an effective changeup, and I see Sale as a relatively safe pick as far as pitchers go.

11-3 from www.mlbresource.com: 3rd Mock draft – #11 - Chris Sale, LHP - Florida Gulf Coast - Toronto had terrible luck in the draft last year outside of first rounder Chad Jenkins. Sale so far seems like he will be a very easy sign and has shot up the draft boards. (2nd LHP on list)
11-16 from http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/ Sale was named the top prospect from the Cape Cod League , going 4-2, 1.47, 57-K, 9-BB.
11-17 from www.mlbdraft.blogspot.com: - 7. New York Mets- Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast - Sale came out of nowhere this summer on the cape to become one of the top LHPs in the draft. The Mets would love to add a 6'6 lefty who is always around the plate into their system. Sale still has room to fill out too, as he is only 175 pounds. (2nd LHP picked)
11-18 from www.macksmets.blogspot.com: - LHP Chris Sale – Sale has come on strong in the “off” season and was voted the top prospect in this year’s Cape Cod League. (1st LHP on list)
11-20 from www.draftamerica.com: - 12. Cincinnati -- Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast. Cincy has learned college in the past few first rounds, and Sale fits well here as potential power arm either in a rotation or at the back of the pen.

1-7-9: Morisato's 2010 MLB Mock Draft - Version 1.0 - 8th Overall – The Houston Astros
Chris Sale (LHP), Florida Gulf Coast - Zack Cox is tempting here, but he also isn’t likely to sign for slot. As a result, the Astros will turn for a bit more certainty. Sale burst on the scene after a successful Cap Cod performance in 2009. As a result, he’s going to get some notice as far as a first round arm is concerned. Sale has a big frame, allowing him to potentially add to his 89-92 mph fastball. The pitch has good sink to it, thanks to his low ¾ arm slot. Sale also has a solid slider that should be an out pitch. He also has a changeup that has the potential to be a good offering, but he’ll need to improve it and keep it from elevating up in the strike zone. Sale is able to get results from his arsenal thanks to his impressive command. The one real knock on him is that none of his pitches are outstanding. He should be a average back of the rotation guy in the majors, but one that has a relatively low bust possibility.
