Lip Man 1 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Bobby Bonilla was the lone White Sox Rule 5 selection over the past 50 years who earned a positive bWAR with the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Covey was a good pick, he was really close to figuring it out a few times. Sometimes pitchers gonna pitcher. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. His stuff was real good, just never figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
