May 6th Game Thread: White Sox at Baltimore

Featured Replies

Covey has a purpose and it's to delay calling up our important prospects before they're ready. I honestly think some posters here don't realize we're rebuilding. Who exactly would you like to see up instead of Covey?

Danks? And I dont feel bad for him. Dude has guaranteed a major league roster spot, and he's making millions. Shouldn't be playing in the majors. Time to end the experiment. Results have been proven to be the same over and over again.

 

Covey is making about $3000 for every day he's on the roster...

There's a line of "good for the rebuild" and "no business in the majors".

 

Dylan Covey has no business in the majors.

Doug Fister or Tyler Danish.

I still dont feel bad for him lol

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2017 -> 07:11 PM)
Don't think he has it in him. He'll be gone after tonight, and an arm will be added tomorrow.

 

I'm not sure there's anyone else to bring up. I guess they could try Danish, but he just had his worst start of the season.

Matt Cooper is nearly 26, not a top prospect and has double the AA innings as Covey. This year he's K'ing 34% of batters and walking 6%. White Sox promoted Quintana straight from AA. I'd much rather see him than Covey, to give one example.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2017 -> 07:07 PM)
Make him eat five innings no matter what

Yep eat it

What's DJ Carrasco up to?

 

This team needs a rubber armed reliever that can pitch 90-100 innings.

The least he can do is protect the bullpen without demoralizing everyone and making most feel sorry for his predicament.

 

This can't last much longer. They might as well start Ynoa until his arm falls off.

Yep. Danish, Cooper and Guerrero would all be more interesting. Heck I'd rather give Luebke a shot. Lopez will be up soon enough. Shields and Rodon to follow.

 

Hopefully this is it for Covey.

3 for last 6 for Anderson

I know I'm obsessed, but Swarzak genuinely can be that guy imo

He's helping stabilize the tank. Leave Covey alone. :lol:

Why not? What's the worst that can happen? He turns back into Anthony Swarzak?

It would take 4-6 weeks before Swarzak could pitch more than 3. This all would make some sense if he wasn't going to be a free agent at the end of the year...but his value to the team and trade is better suited exactly where he's at.

Lopez has to cut down on those walks before he's ready to come up.

I will hazard a guess that Dylan will still be here after this game

Cooper is a legit prospect and should be developed though. I don't want him being called up before he is ready regardless of his age.

Covey is terrible, but do you honestly want to rush legit prospects so you can be entertained in a rebuilding season?

Frazier doesn't look close to 100 pct

I see the word prospect is just being thrown around like nothing these days.

End the Asche experiment please

I'm sorry, but WTF are you implying here? A guy striking out 13 per 9 innings in AA is a prospect.

Not even gonna get into it. Feeky is right on the money though.
