Some thoughts...I really like Chris Sale. He would have been a straight A-, but I'm not fully confident that the White Sox will stick with him as a starter.
I know his mechanics got a ton of debate here, so I addressed those concerns and his arm action specifically.
I also found Rienzo's mechanics on the unique side (somewhat Lincecum-esque)...I think I underrated Addison Reed a bit, and could revise his grade before all is said and done. I look forward to addressing any feedback, but I probably won't be able to address it till tomorrow afternoon. Here is the full list...
