PAUL KONERKO 14 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 That's called ignorance It's called opinion. He's still facing professional hitters, I never said because he's dominating in low A ball that he will do that in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 QUOTE(PAUL KONERKO 14 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 10:09 AM) It's called opinion. He's still facing professional hitters, I never said because he's dominating in low A ball that he will do that in the majors. Professional hitters that are probably either a) Still very young and learning. B) Just not very good. If you have read the thread by the White Sox scout and his thoughts on Poreda, you can see why there is a LOT of doubt on him as a prospect.

PAUL KONERKO 14 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Then if he won't do well in the majors, why put him on a top prospect list? Because he hasn't even pitched in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are called prospects because they have a good shot at the majors. They aren't called prospects simply because they do well at a low level.

You mean when a person within the White Sox organization comes onto the board and talks about how the people who scouted Poreda have already been fired and that he was drafted two rounds earlier than he should have been?

The funny thing is that Poreda would have been drafted by quite a few teams in the picks immediate after when the Sox went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea like Poreda would have been drafted in the 3rd round...He most likely wouldn't have been picked more than five picks later.

CWSGuy406 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 At this point, if Kenny and the people around him truly believe Poreda was a bad pick and that his arm may go out at any moment due to his motion, I'd turn him into a reliever and have him on the fast track to the bigs. He can be an effective big league reliever if he is hitting 97 on the gun and spotting it reasonably well. If he learns an even average breaking ball or changeup, he could be really good out of the 'pen. And considering the average value out of the 25th pick in the draft, Poreda turning into a reliever really wouldn't be all that terrible.

PAUL KONERKO 14 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) I could also see him out of the pen if this trouble continues, make him the next Mariono Rivera. Edited November 18, 2007 by PAUL KONERKO 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
