Week 7 Pitchers Poll: And Here Comes Chris Sale

Snoop did not break into the rankings this week, though his first pitch was better than many Sox hurlers threw

Just last week I wrote that Jake Peavy was likely out of reach to the rest of the pitchers on this staff. Well, apparently Chris Sale took exception to that.

He also took advantage of a couple of bad Peavy starts and a Rays lineup filled with guys you've never heard of.

Unfortunately, he was the only real climber this week.

RANK	PLAYER	POINTS	LW	+/-
1	Jake Peavy	115	1	8
2	Chris Sale	98	3	36
3	Gavin Floyd	75	2	0
4	Phil Humber	42	4	0
5	Nathan Jones	39	6	7
6	John Danks	34	5	0
7	Addison Reed	29	7	3
8	Hector Santiago	28	8	5
9	Matt Thornton	26	8	3
9	Jesse Crain	26	10	7
11	Zach Stewart	18	11	7
12	Jose Quintana	15	12	8
13	Eric Stults	7	12	0
14	Dylan Axelrod	6	14	0
15	Will Ohman	5	15	5

Jose Quintana and Zach Stewart got a nice boost thanks to John Danks' injury and shortened starts from others, and Jesse Crain got a lot of work in as well. Then there's Nathan Jones who does nothing but climb and climb in these rankings every week.

Hopefully it won't be too long until John Danks passes him up.
