Chris Sale vs other big name acquisitions for the Red Sox thru 5 starts

Much is made of the "pressure of pitching in Boston". Conventional wisdom is that the media will make any Red Sox player crack. Big name players just turn to mush on arrival.

Chris Sale, to this point, hasn't been affected by the noise.

Here is how Chris Sale stacks up to other big name pitchers that the Red Sox have acquired over the years thru their first 5 games started.

Category leader in yellow.
