its good he's not giving up runs, but one of the big things with poreda was his impeccable control. he's been a little walk happy lately. if he can keep those down, he should be a force in the upper levels very soon.

Do you think we'll see Poreda reach Kannapolis by season's end?

Do you think we'll see Poreda reach Kannapolis by season's end?

They have less than 2 weeks to play, IIRC, so no.

No, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him start next season in WS.

jump 2 levels (bristol and kanny) ?? i think he might start at kanny, and he if gets off to a good start, get a quick promotion, maybe end the season in birmingham? im not sure how quick the sox want to push the kid thru the system, and it'll obviously depend on his success/health as well.

Great Falls is considered by the Sox to be a higher level than Bristol.

For comparison, McCulloch started this year at W-S.
