CWSpalehoseCWS Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Supposedly sent down with Anderson’s return. Looks like Ruiz is here to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'd rather the guy that was pretty good in out of the pen in Birmingham than Covey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Good, at least Ruiz has some success in AA as a reliever posting 55K against 19 walks with only 33 hits in 45.1 innings. How'd he look this spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Ok, but this does not negate Renteria's bad move of not leaving in Nova and bringing in Covey and Fry with a 2 run lead in the 8th. There was more to blame than Covey in that loss. Not dwelling on it, but just pointing out a fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Sox don’t see any value carrying Covey on the current roster construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 So this is them admitting Renteria used the last guy out of the bullpen in a high leverage 8th inning situation. Terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Let's count the number of guys they go through in bullpen. He's No. 1 to be sent down deservedly so. He's really mediocre/awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Covey is not a high leverage reliever but they wanted to try him there so whatever...If he ever comes back up, it should only be as a long man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible. It's a really small thing but I also wonder why they even bothered to tender Covey a contract. He's wasting a 40 man spot now.

Chisox378 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Covey came to life last year in Charlotte as he posted a 2.33 ERA in 38 innings. Couldnt do the same in the Majors, but maybe worth hanging on to for now, unless there is a better player that needs to occupy the 40 man.

Terrible. He used a groundball pitcher to try to get a ground ball in a double play situation. I wouldn't look at it much deeper than that.

TheTruth05 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm pretty pumped about Hamilton being healthy, hopefully they ease him back in to make NJ the last man in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably is going to take a month at least to get into shape. He never really had a spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) I'm not religious, but praise Jesus! LOL. May he be forever banished to Charlotte during the remainder of his days with the White Sox organization.

Ducksnort Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Seems like they have short leashes for player performance this year. Who gets the boot for Santana then? Ruiz? Banuelos? Frare? Edited April 4, 2019 by Scoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogsplash31 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I wonder if they might try Covey in the rotation in Charlotte one more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
