What they're saying

"
Everybody has an opinion on who the best starter in Major League Baseball is, but it's almost impossible to say that anybody has been better than Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Sanchez, who has done nothing but throw the baseball at a ridiculous level throughout the season, has probably been just as good as anybody outside of Jacob Misiorowski.
