If anything, this might set up a trade of Dotel or even Jenks, with Thornton closing and Poreda throwing an earlier inning?

Levine

The White Sox are calling up pitching prospect Aaron Poreda today from Double-A Birmingham, according to ESPNChicago.com’s Bruce Levine.

Poreda, 22, first broke the news on his Facebook page, according to Levine, who later confirmed the move with a source close to the situation.

The 6-6, 240-pound Poreda is a hard-throwing left-hander. He was the Sox’s No. 1 pick — 25th overall — in 2007.

Poreda was rated the top prospect in the Sox organization in 2008, and he was ranked third in ’09 behind Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo.

Poreda to Start?

The youth movement continues on the South Side, as a source close to the situation confirmed that left-hander Aaron Poreda is going to be added to the 25-man roster today, likely taking Bartolo Colon’s spot in the starting rotation.

Manager Ozzie Guillen said Monday that he and general manager Ken Williams had a lengthy meeting before the first game of the doubleheader with Detroit to discuss different scenarios, and with the Jake Peavy deal falling flat, as well as Colon’s struggles possibly health-related, Guillen hinted they felt they had no choice but to go with their best prospect in Poreda

What would we trade for if we are assuming Contreras and Poreda have a spot in the rotation?

3B and put Beckham at 2B? Or they’ve decided Q is out for the year and then feel the need to trade for a CF and put Pods in LF? I guess in the short term you could just keep Richard in the bullpen for a while until something happens. Not a bad thing to have a solid bullpen.

Anyone to fill one of our 4-5 consistently replacement level positions.

by onthemark12 on Jun 9, 2009 11:44 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Even then, you're still carrying 6 starters,

assuming Contreras’s performance last night won him a rotation spot. It doesn’t make sense to ‘stop’ Poreda’s progress/development in the minors by having him start in the majors when he’s likely going to give you the same serviceable level of production as Richard, unless Richard’s gone.

Yeah, why move Poreda up and Richard to the pen

right now? I think Richard is gone.

I think at the very least you need to wait until after this series to be sellers. We’re potentially a josh fields error from being 3.5 back and I like this teams odds of catching up whenever the real summer decides to show up, couple that with beckham starting to hit sometime and getting Q! back…

by Daniel Berlyn on Jun 9, 2009 12:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

My personal feelings aside (Poreda + Freddy = let me reiterate, HOOOOOOOOOOO YEAHH!!!), this does seem odd.

Colon is probably out for now and one would think Contreras would take his spot. Having said that, it sounds like Contreras can’t make Colon’s next start (see Cheat’s recap), so maybe Poreda is just up for that for the time being? Would they really bring him up for one start then do something else with him? Seems odd.

Richard has not been bad at all since moving to the rotation — even yesterday was more blarghhh than BLARGHHHH. To bring Poreda up for him seems odd.

Bring Poreda up to be in the ‘pen? Obviously The Organization is in a better position to know this than us, but intuitively, doesn’t it seem better developmentally for him to continue to make regular starts in the minors than get irregular work out of the bullpen? Seems odd.

Or maybe it’s part of a series of moves whereby the Sox officially “become sellers” this year. But doing that while in the middle of a 5-game series against the 1st place team in the division … seems odd.

My guess on how this works is...

He will start this week. That way no one pitches on short rest because of the double header. Then he will go to the pen as insurance for Jose stinking and/or getting hurt again. Colon is gone.

I also have Adam Jones, T. Hunter, J. Guillen and G. Sizemore (on the DL). I currently have H. Kendrick at 2B.

I’m not sure on the status of Sizemore…sounds like he will be back at some point.

I cant believe what a bum Kendrick is turning out to be. He was a beast in the minors.
He even got doubled off the other day after forgetting how many outs there were.

Id probably make that deal since Kendrick has been so bad, and then give him the occasional shot to turn it around when the Rangers are on the road.

by e-gus on Jun 9, 2009 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I would

Kinsler is one of the top second basemen. Easier to get good production from OF. Not to mention Kinsler is just flat out better anyway regardless of position. Kinsler will probably have more RBI, HR, R, and S than Braun, and do that at 2nd base. Then you throw in you’re playing Kendrick at 2B right now? Do this immediately.

by BoxingHideout on Jun 9, 2009 1:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

This is bad advice

without knowing what S is, I can guarantee that Kinsler will not have more HR and RBI than Kinsler. Kinsler will probably end up with more runs scored- but Braun has twice the power that Kinsler does.

Generally, I would think that the negative value of Pods replacing Anderson in CF would overcome the positive in his bat...

but given how bad BA and Wise have been sucking, Pods is probably a net gain.

But overall, I’m in agreement with you, larry, and Tdogg that the Sox aren’t in such a bad position, despite the multiple vortexes of suck they have in the line-up. I think my post was taken in a much more negative fashion than it was intended.

using batting average is perhaps the quickest way to get shutdown around here.

That, and suggesting larry might have been scooped on some Sox news.

Or double posting his news – being redundant. He gets pissy.

We’re a pack of a-holes.

Ironic that this is on a thread

referencing a Facebook post. I don’t think it originated from the Sox. (However, you are wonderful conduit of information.)

But, really, what ’40’s quote do you feel Poreda was referencing?

That pinch hitting stat,

something like 1 – 31, 0 RBIs.

Gotta be an all time, EVER record.

Time to show Greg Walker the door.

at least he's a young 32

"...but the devil lives inside this kid, I swear it. It rises out of him in a mist, this baby-faced defiant wrathful version of Pat Kane, escapes his bodily confines to perform satanic miracles all over the offensive zone. The only thing more fearsome than that assist was the keep-in preceding it. The only thing more unholy than his face is his black magic." GMH

i’d rather Getz gets the AB’s. He actually has a future in chicago.

I'm fine with it.

This is pretty much the best line up I think we can put out there right now. It’s not like Chris Getz is that much better or younger than Jayson Nix.

nix plays better defense, has more power and takes more walks

and it’s not like getz is blowing us away with his batting average…

if you hold someone against their will and sodomize them, are they your mate? from your post, i’m guessing yes.

took about few attempts to post the tienanmen press release image a few threads down. would hang clicking “post” from the preview. punted and tried clicking “post” from the comment editor and that worked.
