Like the time you accused me of hating all Chicago coaches ignoring the fact that I Really, I just wanted to point out that Poreda did what is expected of him at that stage and it doesn't mean much of anything. You were talking about his dominance with one pitch as if it meant that he'd be able to carry that into the future. That simply isn't so. If Poreda can't develop good secondary pitches, he's going to grow up and be Matt Thornton. And I love Thornton's arm, or did before it lost some heat this year and hitters started lighting him up because they expected strikes, but that isn't a high ceiling. Arguing a point isnt the same as making fun of a post and taking the rationale to the extreme. Never did I say the things you said I was inferring, nor did I ever think that way. As far as his performance at that level, he surpassed probably 99.9 percent of people on this site who called his selection a travesty and a reach, including the opinion of many experts. He was then called one of if not the most dominant arms selected in the draft. Edited September 26, 200718 yr by RockRaines
