Newsbreakers
September 8, 2009
Aaron Poreda has been recalled from Triple-A Portland.
Our View:
Part of the Jake Peavy deal, Poreda posted a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings for the White Sox before the trade this season. He was struggling with a 7.16 ERA at Portland, however, and isn't an option in any format down the stretch.
September 6, 2009
Aaron Poreda allowed three runs on one hit while walking eight and striking out eight in 5.1 innings for Triple-A Portland on Friday, according to MLB.com. Poreda came to San Diego as part of the Jake Peavy deal.
Our View:
Poreda has walked 37 in in 32.2 innings with Portland since the trade, and he won't be able to pitch effectively at the major league level until he gets some control over his stuff. He has the stuff to be effective, as evidenced by the eight strikeouts, but he needs to get some control.
July 31, 2009
Aaron Poreda has been shipped from Chicago to San Diego as part of the trade involving former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy, according to Ed Price's twitter page. Clayton Richard, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter were dealt to the Padres as well.
Our View:
Poreda was a top prospect for the Sox, and could find his way into the Padres' rotation before the end of the 2009 season. He will get to play his home games at pitcher-friendly Petco Park, and shall remain stashed in keeper leagues.
July 22, 2009
Aaron Poreda has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the Sox, according to MLB.com. He was sent down to make room for Carlos Torres on the roster.
Our View:
Skipper Ozzie Guillen noted that Poreda was not sent down because of his performance. He holds a 2.45 ERA over 11 innings this season, and has a bright future ahead of him in the bigs.
July 12, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that White Sox pitcher Aaron Poreda will remain in the bullpen to start the second half of the season. Poreda has an 0.90 ERA in ten innings for the White Sox this season.
Our View:
Poreda was the team's first pick in the 2007 draft, and he has been excellent since being called up in June. There has been some speculation that he could join the rotation considering he has been a starter in the past, but the Sox want to keep him in the pen. If you are in a league that utilizes middle men, he could be worth a look, but outside of that he has little value.
June 9, 2009
Aaron Poreda has been promoted from Double-A Birmingham according to the Chicago Tribune. It is not yet clear what role he will be filling or whose roster spot he is taking.
Our View:
Poreda, the White Sox first round draft pick from 2007, has been solid in the minors, posting a 2.38 ERA in 11 starts this season, along with 69 strikeouts in 64.1 innings. If used as a starter, he would be worth a flier in AL-only leagues, but he's probably not ready to contribute at this time.
May 5, 2009
The Monday game between West Tennessee and Birmingham was called after the top half of the fifth inning due to rain, giving Aaron Poreda a no-hitter for Birmingham. Poreda walked five and struck out eight.
Our View:
The White Sox top pitching prospect could be in line for a promotion to Triple-A soon, as he has a 1.65 ERA in five starts for Birmingham this season. He remains a strong candidate to see time in the White Sox starting rotation this season should they need a starter.
April 23, 2009
Aaron Poreda blew away Jacksonville Suns hitters on Thursday, throwing seven scoreless innings for Double-A Birmingham. He allowed four hits, one walk and fanned 11.
Our View:
The former first-round draft choice had allowed eight walks in nine innings this season coming into the game, so this is a great sign. He could find himself in the White Sox rotation late this season.
March 24, 2009
Southpaw Aaron Poreda started strong on Tuesday by retiring the first six batters he faced. The rotation candidate then walked three straight batters to open the third inning, the Chicago Tribune notes. Poreda finished the day with two hits and two runs allowed, four walks, and one strikeout over three innings.
Our View:
Poreda remains in the mix for a spot in the starting rotation, but he hasn't done himself many favors this spring. The White Sox are probably better off if he ends up in the bullpen.
February 14, 2009
Aaron Poreda is competing with Jeffrey Marquez, Lance Broadway and Clayton Richard for the fifth spot in Chicago's rotation, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The young lefty features a solid fastball, but lacks an effective secondary pitch in his arsenl. He seems more likely to start the season in the bullpen, and does not merit fantasy consideration as of yet.
