December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) Yep Covey is an odd pick, then. Realistically any chance he sticks around?
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) Covey is an odd pick, then. Realistically any chance he sticks around? I mean, he's not going to prevent a playoff run so why not?
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:19 AM) Are you including guys like Moncada, Giolito, Lopez, etc? Those three are on the major league 40-man, so no.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:21 AM) I mean, he's not going to prevent a playoff run so why not? True. I suppose they see something in him.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:21 AM) Sox pass in the AAA phase Anyone take Cave?
December 8, 20169 yr Random but I didn't know we signed this guy. He looks like he could have some potential.
December 8, 20169 yr Covey was pretty good in AA last year. Maybe the Sox see something in him that they can fix.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Dang I wanted in on the Yankees raiding They could've picked Tyler Webb, but passed on him. Covey looks like an interesting bullpen option to me. Let the kid air out that sinking fastball from the pen.
December 8, 20169 yr Dylan Covey pitched in the AFL this year after missing a lot of 2016: http://www.athleticsnation.com/2016/11/20/...ll-league-title
December 8, 20169 yr Author Sox lose no one. Draft only Covey. As it happens, one of our writers is also a writer for the Oakland Scout site, so she's talked with him, seen him pitch, has video, etc. She's doing a write up, we'll have it up on FS soon.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) Was said that Covey pitched well in the AFL and the A's thought highly of him If I didn't hear about the kid in the one preview that I read he must not be any good! /green
December 8, 20169 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 20s20 seconds ago Rick Hahn said Rule 5 pick Covey viewed as bullpen piece, or possible back end of starting rotation in 2017.
December 8, 20169 yr I really liked Covey as a draft prospect at the time. Would be neat to see him pan out in some way with the White Sox.
December 8, 20169 yr Seems like an interesting piece to me. His sinker looks pretty filthy in the link Y2J shared above.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) Random but I didn't know we signed this guy. He looks like he could have some potential. Looks like a glove heavy SS who could potentially develop a bat. Why not?
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:26 AM) Random but I didn't know we signed this guy. He looks like he could have some potential. 5'11" 150lbs. He makes Alexei Ramirez look like a power lifter.
December 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) 5'11" 150lbs. He makes Alexei Ramirez look like a power lifter. Hopefully kid is a whiz with the glove, because that career .629 MiLB OPS isn't scaring anyone.
