October 15, 200817 yr http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index...ame%3dlaw_keith • White Sox left-hander Aaron Poreda worked out of the pen, with two one-inning stints this week. He sat at 91-96 mph in his first outing and 93-96 in the second, showing big sink at the lower end of his range and late life on the four-seamers up toward 96. He barely used his slider -- which is odd, since that has to be the main developmental priority for him -- and showed one that was very sharp with good tilt, with the others more fringe-average; they started their break early enough for a big-league hitter to pick them up.
October 15, 200817 yr He's getting lose. We'll see him use more secondary pitches once his arm is armed up. I'm glad to see that the reports are that his fastball has really good life. We could be talking about a left handed Kevin Brown. You don't see too many POWER sinkers.
