December 1, 20232 yr From the MLB.com story today on every team's last rule 5 selection: White Sox: Dylan Covey, RHP (2016) A first-round pick out of high school in 2010 by the Brewers, Covey declined to sign after a post-Draft physical revealed he had diabetes and eventually turned pro as a fourth-rounder with the Athletics in 2013. He spent three seasons shuffling in and out of the White Sox rotation but finally found some success with the Phillies as a reliever in 2023. He has gone 7-32 with a 6.18 ERA in 307 1/3 innings, and both his ERA and winning percentage (.179) are the worst since World War II for pitchers with at least as many innings or decisions. Only in the world of the White Sox.
December 1, 20232 yr Bobby Bonilla was the lone White Sox Rule 5 selection over the past 50 years who earned a positive bWAR with the White Sox.
December 1, 20232 yr Covey was a good pick, he was really close to figuring it out a few times. Sometimes pitchers gonna pitcher.
December 2, 20232 yr With what our rotation will probably look like, there may be a time next season that we will be fondly remembering the days of Dylan Covey.
