The Chicago White Sox's decision to add veteran pitcher Dan Altavilla to their bullpen, following Miguel Castro's injury, raises questions about roster management. Despite Altavilla's recent success in Triple-A, critics argue that promoting younger prospects would better serve the team's future. Altavilla's recent track record in the majors has been poor, with ERAs consistently above 5.00, and he hasn't played in the majors for two seasons. This move reflects a troubling trend in the Sox's reliance on ineffective veteran pitchers instead of investing in younger talent.
While Dan Altavilla has performed well in Triple-A, calling him up at this point lacks foresight, denying opportunities for promising bullpen prospects to develop.
The White Sox have not benefited from their veteran relievers this season, and it seems unlikely that adding another aging arm like Altavilla will change that trend.
