Carolina League - Aaron Poreda, Winston-Salem

2-0, 0.69 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 13.0 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 7 SO

Poreda was flat-out dealing in wins over Lynchburg and Kinston last week. The 2007 first-round Draft pick shut out the Hillcats over six innings, allowing just three hits while striking out five in a 4-2 win. He nearly matched that effort Saturday against the Indians, giving up three runs -- one earned -- and four hits while striking out two in seven innings. Poreda has now won his last four starts for the Warthogs and lowered his ERA to a paltry 2.19 on the season.

for those of you who know much more about this than I do, the soonest we can expect to see him in Chicago?

 

2010. I imagine he starts in AAA next year, with some short september call up, then getting a look at an actual roster spot in 2010.

Agreed. Faster than that is pretty improbable.

 

And it's fairly likely that we don't see him til 2011. That would mean he spends a full year at AA and AAA, and join the team as a 24-year old rookie in spring 2011.

Still only averaging 6.5 IP over those 2 games...

One of those games was in a doubleheader... so they only played 7 innings. And Poreda pitched the entire game. Can't pitch more innings than a complete game.

Good to get all the facts...
