The Beckham and Danks Show or White Sox Minor League Update with Special September Preview!

Printwith aaron poreda apparently atop the short list to start for the big club on tuesday, the minors required an influx of talent that people might care about. and by "people" i mean people who aren't interested in the development of second tier prospects. so the addition of the sox' two top draft picks - and legitimate prospects for the majors - to kanny is certainly something watch. gordon beckham was the first to arrive and, though it was the hapless crawdads, he had a nice open:
Prospect Of The Day
Shortstop Gordon Beckham’s professional career has gotten off to a flying start. The White Sox’ first-round pick joined Kannapolis (White Sox) on Friday and went 3-for-4 with a double in his pro debut against Hickory (Pirates). He went only 1-for-4 on Saturday, but got right back to it yesterday, going 3-for-3 and hitting his first professional home run, a three-run shot in the fifth inning off Crawdads righthander Francisco Ortiz.

the intimidators have one more game to pad their stats against hickory.
jordan danks will likely make his kanny debut wednesday (8/20) at home versus augusta.

POSSIBLE SEPTEMBER CALLUPS
however, for those of you who do care about the more marginal prospects, who are the likely candidates for september callups? last season, the white sox basically emptied their minor of anyone of interest long before september so only donny lucy, lance broadway, and heath phillips merited callups (charlie haeger the most noticeable absence).
this year, there should be a larger group - if only because the white sox are in a pennant race and all hands will be called in, especially on the pitching front. some of these players may get the call prior to september 1 but here's a list of potential additions for when the active roster expands to 40:
lance broadway: a lock to be called up for the second straight year. not a particularly exciting arm and not the prettiest of minor league numbers but we've seen that he has been able to get major league hitters out.
aaron poreda: another lock. still needs to develop a legit changeup if he hopes to start in the big leagues but he's ready right now to get major league hitters out in a relief role and would excel as a loogy.
cole armstrong: a third catcher is another classic september call up and, perhaps in contrast to lucy last year, armstrong actually merits the honor on his numbers alone. since his promotion to charlotte in july, he's put up a .300/.336/.445 line - albeit helped by a .360 babip.
josh fields: i think we're all sufficiently familiar with him. his season has been plagued by injuries and his numbers both in charlotte and in his brief sox appearance were uninspiring. however, there's no way he won't get the call.
jason bourgeois: since i'm the one writing this, you knew it was coming. however, despite his ridiculously slow start, he's managed to get his numbers up above respectability. not currently being on the 40 man roster may hinder his cause but .289/.336/.403 along with positional flexibility and speed make him an ideal bench player. his loyalty to the organization should play a role in the decision, as well.
jerry owens: another player we're all familiar with. i declared his major league career effectively over before the start of the season and his continued injuries and meh play in charlotte certainly don't make me look wrong. could get the call over someone like bourgeois simply by virtue of being on the 40 man already. his speed is enticing but his 24 for 36 in steals at charlotte is below that of bougeois and is his only real skill. and being below acceptable in that isn't good.
jack egbert: cheat's boy and a pecota fave had injury troubles in ST and in the early part of the season. has settled in somewhat after a rocky start but the numbers aren't all that inspiring, especially his home runs. while it was expected that the groundball master would give up more in the international league, his total of 13 so far eclipses his career total prior to the season.
jon link: very nice numbers as AA birmingham's closer; 19 bb, 58 k in 52 IP. whip of 1.12 and a very nice GB% of 59%. legit.
charlie haeger: whither the knuckler? the organizaton's displeasure/non-interest was apparent last year after he failed to get a september call. in his third full season at AAA, outside of a decreased k rate, his peripherals from 2007 are basically indistinguishable to 2008. or, to put it another way, not exactly the progress one would want to see.
ehren wassermann: does well in charlotte, inconsistent in the majors (2007 good, 2008 bad). your classic AAAA type reliever. after two poor stints in the majors this year, likely a longshot for another.
others with chances: mike macdougal, boone logan, jason childers (0.80 whip for the journeyman), paul phillips, brad eldred (leads international league in homers), derek rodriguez (1.07 whip at AAA, 34 k in 29 IP)

Very nice to see GoBe showing some power
I hope he start off next season in AA, just like how Josh Fields did.
i hope he doesn't. largest jump in class is between high a and aa. if they wanted to fast track him they should have started him at w-s. like fields.

i don't think where he starts matters.
put him on the poreda 2008 track. beckham should still arrive 2010 regardless of where he starts in 2009.

Gordon Beckham, SS, Low-A Kannapolis (White Sox)
The eighth overall pick in June, Beckham didn’t sign until last week, and he hadn’t played for nearly two months, so a slow start could easily be excused. No excuses are necessary though (so much for the rust factor), as in his first weekend as a pro he went 7-for-11 with a double, a home run, four walks, and no strikeouts. Beckham has all the tools and abilities to be a star-level player, combining contact skills with above-average power, and just enough in the way of both speed and arm strength to become at least an average shortstop. Just as importantly, all of his skills are advanced enough to project a quick rise to the majors, and Beckham should be up in Double-A by mid-2009, if not earlier.

jerry lee owens, your plane is leaving.
Seriously, Owens has played some of his best baseball as of late for the Knights. Since the All-Star break, he’s hit .340/.409/.371 with nine steals in 11 attempts, much better than his first-half stats that included a .326 OBP and a 63 percent success rate on the basepaths. Considering Wise started exactly two games in since Griffey joined the club, it’s not like he would be a threat to steal any legitimate playing time.

and joe crede apparently still can’t play baseball and boone logan sucks.

Wow a .340 average
completely trumps his .326 OBP. Nice work, Jerry.

Carolina League
Prospect of the Day
Jacob Rasner kept Winston-Salem within striking distance of Myrtle Beach in the playoff chase on Thursday night, striking out nine over six innings as the righthander paced the Warthogs to a 3-2 win.
Rasner yielded five hits and two runs in a no-decision, moving Winston-Salem to within four games of first-place Myrtle Beach with 10 games to play.
…
What To Watch For Today
Winston-Salem turns to Matthew Long (7-11) against Myrtle Beach, while Kinston’s Hector Rondon (11-6) looks to become the Carolina League’s first 12-game winner this season.

John Shelby and Brandon Allen are really going off right now
Shelby is headed on another hot August/September it would seem. His ISO is now at .217 and his overall line looks decent enough, with the obvious caveat: .289/.326/.506. He’s also back in CF and his SB rate is very nice, caught just 5 times in 36 attempts so far. In the very least, he’s at least profiling as a useful major leaguer again.
Meanwhile, Brandon Allen has a .313 ISO, significantly better than his W-S power numbers. The overall line: .280/.375/.593.
The Sox will need to fill CF, SS/2B and DH/1B after 2009. Beckham, Danks and these two look like that might be possible without a free agent signing.

lucas harrell looks like he's almost all the way back.
6.1 IP, 7 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 3K, 1 BB. kanekoa texeira has adapted well to AA, which bodes well for his future.
"Suck it up Bunky, we gotta go.'" - ron gardenhire
Organizationally speaking, how do coach promotions work?
The only reason I ask is because I’d really like to see Poreda and Harrell get to work with Perdew (sp?) as much as possible. Then again, I don’t think it’s going to be too long before Poreda is up with the Sox — he’s really put together a nice season there and — as has been talked about many times — there’s a non-terrible chance he could be called up and be pretty effective.
Hmm… this has nothing to do with Poreda, but why exactly is Lucas Harrell on the 40-man? Has he really been in the Sox organization for that long? Ah — I think I’ve found my answer. Damn — I didn’t realize he’s been with the Sox since 2004…
Is it safe to assume that Poreda will be up on September 1st?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
it's looking that way
they can either shut him down for the season or give him innings in the pen.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
AA is really where i think a pitching coach can be most effective.
working with the best arms at a critical juncture in their development.
ideally you’d like to have six good ones, of course, but i’d leave perdew where he is. harrell is liable to at least start at AA next year, anyway.

well, i don't know if this is just a last chance desperation move with macdougal,
but what the hell? hopefully he can find a rhythm starting. he seems like the kind of guy that could have some success if he would take a little off his pitches and start throwing more strikes. i am, however, concerned that his arm may fall off trying to start, but i guess it doesn’t matter considering his current career arc.

it's not the worst idea.
it says he pitched 3 innings. i thought that they might be stretching him out. the more i think about it, the more i think it’s worth a shot. he certainly seems to have lost whatever once made him an effective reliever.

blast from the past: "i parlayed analysis such as this into a job with a major league baseball club"
25. LHP Aaron Poreda, White Sox
Slow tempo, bad arm action, awkward mechanics. Poreda has reportedly topped out at 96-97mph, and (based on this video) I have no idea how he accomplishes it. Not with these mechanics…
…
I stopped the animation (frames 32 and 33) for a reason. Maybe it’s the aesthetics of it, but those are positions that you don’t want to be in. Focus on his front shoulder…not good.
In the draft video, Poreda was working 87-90 so maybe this was early in the year before he adjusted his mechanics. That said, I’m willing to bet on two things on Poreda with the certainty that at least one of them will occur:
1) He will lose his mid-90s velocity rather quickly.
2) He will shred his arm.
Um, no thanks. Not at 25. Is he Mark Redman, part two?

"Suck it up Bunky, we gotta go.'" - ron gardenhire
so you're saying i have a chance?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
To be fair...
Reportedly, Poreda substantially altered his mechanics after that video was made (but before this analysis was made).
Gomez was called on this at the time.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 25, 2008 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions
um, no. he should have known that before he wrote his analysis. that's called fair.
an inability to do simple research is inexcusable. and gomez’ reputation certainly made his analysis both widely read and widely believed. i still read people quoting it as a basis for criticizing poreda or the white sox.
"Suck it up Bunky, we gotta go.'" - ron gardenhire
Well...
I don’t know how “simple” it is to obtain up-to-the moment video of Aaron Poreda in college. It’s not like USF is a widely-followed baseball program, and Gomez wasn’t a scout. He was looking at what was available, and he apologized when he found out what had happened.
But maybe I shouldn’t say that. Maybe it’s easier to get footage of college baseball players than I thought.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 25, 2008 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions
who needs footage?
make a phone call.
and, yeah, it wasn’t hard to find footage of poreda that looked different than what he was using. it was atrocious, superficial research that made me question that other analysis he was doing. it’s probably good that he got another job because i lost a lot of respect for him as a writer after this.
"Suck it up Bunky, we gotta go.'" - ron gardenhire
As I recall...
he acknowledged that it wasn’t fair to make a judgment about a player’s career based on one piece of footage.
All we can hope is that he’s learned from that experience.

Jordan Danks, OF, Low-A Kannapolis (White Sox)
Three years ago, Danks was one of the top high school outfielders in the game, but he stuck to his college commitment. Hindsight being 20-20, he probably should have came out, as he had a three-year career at the University of Texas that wound up well below expectations. With teams leery of his bonus demands, Danks fell to the seventh round this June, and he held out until the deadline, finally signing for a $525,000 bonus. His pro career has started off well, however, as he went 6-for-12 over the weekend with his first professional home run, giving him a .400 batting average and six RBI in his first five games with the Intimidators. It’s far too early to project when he’ll be joining his older brother John in the White Sox clubhouse, but he’s one of the best position-player prospects in a system that entered the year desperate for anything in that department.

The two minor league knuckleballers that I can think of are Haeger and Boston’s Charlie Zink.

There will be another Wakefield.
There have never been many pitching successfully at the same time, but there’s always a guy looking to try something different. Whether or not a GM/manager wants to deal with the guy is another story. The Sox have always has a knucksie guy close to the big club as far back as I remember (starting with Wilhelm), so they seem to be a good place to watch.
