flavum Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) Why does he need 90 days on the roster? Probably because he's a Rule 5 guy. So teams just don't bury them on the DL. He would have to be offered back to Oakland otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I see, what's the deal where the guy has to be on the 25 man roster all season? Like that young catcher we had a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that young catcher we had a few years ago? Yes, they need that, and to be active for 90 days, so they won't be hidden on the DL.

Covey was recalled from the minors? He had been on the DL for a couple of months and was on a rehab assignment. They can't send him down without offering him back to Oakland. If he gets hurt again before rosters expand, he might not make the 90 days either, although I don't see what the big deal would be if Oakland wanted him back.

Señor Ding-Dong Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Even if we lost him back to the A's, would we really be losing much? He's already 26 and got shredded during his ML stint, has only 6 games of AA play and only 2 at AAA (both during his rehab assignment).

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best way to handle this. I know it was the Padres, but the dude struck out 9 guys in like 4 innings. Really, that tells me there is something there. It's not easy to strike out 9 guys in 4 innings at any professional level, let alone in the majors. May as well run him out there and let him pitch.

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) He's no exaggeration the single worst pitcher I have ever seen on the sox. They should absolutely offer him back and take the cash. Edited August 20, 2017 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He is 25 years old, has a minor league track record of giving up runs and not striking many out. He helped the tank, but is horrible. He won't be on any contending team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
