Milwaukee Brewers: The first rounder that could have been

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson did a great job keeping the pithing staff afloat this year. Then he got hurt.

That is something that Milwaukee Brewers fans have heard over and over again. Nelson joined the club as a second round selection back in 2010. He worked to become a regular arm in the rotation. To the point where he became heavily relied on during Chase Anderson’s absence.

But what about the guy drafted before Nelson? That former first rounder’s name is Dylan Covey. Who actually made his debut this year with an 0-6 record and 8.18 ERA. Except, his uniform read “White Sox” across the front of it. There is not telling what would happen if the uniform was Brewer Blue.

The trick…
