Whatever happened to all the rebuild guys, team must lose for draft picks? The guy has sucked. He is a rule 5 guy, and there is a 99.9% chance when you throw a rule 5 guy directly in a major league rotation, he will suck. The team is going nowhere. Why are the White Sox widely criticized on this board for "rushing" prospects, but every damn time there is the first sign of a guy sucking or of a minor leaguer going on a roll, the same people who b**** about it, want them to do what they b**** about?
Let guys develop. It isn't necessary to see what some of these guys can do at the major league level yet. Make sure they are ready. Let Covey get destroyed while that happens. A good week, a good 2 weeks, a good month isn't proof. If you really want a rebuild, you have to be patient or it isn't going to ever work.
It's more frustrating listening to the fans carry on about how bad a young player on the team is and then want him released and management to bring up a prospect, who they admit isn't ready. I guess they just want to complain and/or vent. Everyone seemed to want this rebuild and now that it's here they cry over every bad play, or poor pitching outing. You just have to get used to it for awhile.
