QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) I am certainly no Covey fan, but at this point, we may as well keep him on the roster. Clearly he isn't going to be a ML starter, but maybe he can become a useful middle reliever. He can go back to the minors next year. There is no reason for the Sox to be giving even marginal players away. While he clearly wasn't ready this year, that actually is the entire reason he was available this year to the Sox. Get him his 90 days and they you own his rights for the next 5 years. That is the best way to handle this.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) In the regular season and AFL last year, Michael Kopech threw 78.2 IP. He is 40 above that right now. He is going to get shutdown very quickly, I'd say one or two more starts at most. He only has about 3 starts, maybe 4 at the most this year anyway. My guess is he makes all of them. If his velocity or stuff were suffering they would have shut him down any time now, but he seems to be getting better not worse... so the Sox will let him keep going.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) I imagine he will be on the roster in September. I don't know how many ABs there will be for him, but I would like to see him get a shot.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) I find it interesting that multiple posters continue to harp on raBBit for his genetics comment when we all know the point he was trying to make, while StrangeSox accused everyone who voted for Trump to be racist or racist enablers and implied they were bad people and yet not one of the hardcore liberals on this board called him out for it. In fact, most of them came in and defended his ridiculous statement. As a liberal I don't always agree with raBBit's point of view, but I think he deserves better treatment than he gets around here. There is definitely a bully culture on this subforum with the hardcore liberals leading the charge. It really sucks because I come here to learn about issues and opposing perspectives, including raBBit's, but it quickly turns into a groupthink exercise where the same four or five posters aggressively force their opinion down everyone's throats (as if it were fact) without really giving the other side a chance to explain their views & opinions. The thread should really end here. All this forum has become is pitchforks and tiki torches.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 01:40 PM) I don't think we'll get so lucky. Didn't everyone know Harper for years? Still think we'll get a shot at a really good player. Maybe I'm just paying attention more but people seem to really like the 2018 prep class. Harper like Arod and Griffey was one of the very few who was a future star long before they were drafted. They are the exceptions to the rule.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:03 PM) Nevermind. Just takes Clippard's spot, I assume. This

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:21 AM) I don't know who it'll be, but I'll put a bit of money on the White Sox adding a starting pitcher via the Rule 5 Draft this year. Holland, Pelfrey, and Gonzalez all potentially leaving, even with some of the guys in the minors coming up that's easily the most obvious place where we could "keep a person on the roster the whole year". They will also likely add scrap heap guys like Holland/Pelfrey, etc.

So Trump just stared down NK. Wow.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) In the last few weeks, three quality positional prospects have been added to Birmingham in Polo, Jimenez and Collins. Should help that team score some runs for a change. Kopech, Adams and Gurrero get to throw to Collins as well. That team is going to be fun to watch next year. Poor Charlotte.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:39 AM) Maybe even today LMAO. I was thinking it would be strange to have a promotion of one but not the other.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:38 AM) oi, I meant Pena. That's unfortunate. I don't know what his defense is like, but that is one ugly offensive line.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) Probably will be brantley but maybe Perez gets call? He's hit as you'd expect but would like to see how his defensive reputation looks in real life. I can't see it being anyone but Brantley to be honest. Perez is still years away.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:31 AM) They'll call up a third catcher. Every team does. They have room on the 40-man and will just release him after season. Hahn even said they would call up a 3rd catcher. It was quite literally the first thing he said when asked about September call ups.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 08:43 PM) From what I can tell, they turned him into nothing. Not sure why the Astros deserved a giveaway, but so be it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:50 AM) Promoted over Eloy... who would've thought. I'm actually more shocked it wasn't Zavala considering his age and numbers right now. BTW, this guy broke the news first. https://mobile.twitter.com/suds_2 In fact, he tweeted it twice and tagged the white sox twitter account, but deleted it cause he probably jumped the gun. Still saw it and had to give him his props. Sounds like Eloy should be any day now too.

James Fox‏ @JamesFox917 19h19 hours ago #WhiteSox will likely recall RHP Dylan Covey in a bullpen role prior to Tuesdsy's game in LA. Needs 90 days on roster.
