flavum Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) The thing with Poreda though, the club likely wants him to focus on throwing sliders and his secondary pitches. With someone like Williams, it's likely the club just wants him to go out and see what he has. And after seeing him today, he's extremely mediocre and it's easy to tell why he is a 34 year old journey man who hasn't even pitched in the majors the past 3 years. A trade or a free agent pickup isn't out of the question either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) I think Gonzales might just be speculating there. Birmingham makes a lot more sense for a guy like Beckham. I don't know. I thought AA would make more sense for Viciedo as well, but we sent him to Charlotte. And I think Viciedo is a lot more raw than Beckham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the organization is trying being more patient with prospects than in years past so I wouldn't be surprised if they sent Beck to high A ball and just promote him if he's torching pitchers.

chunk23 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I hope Beckham goes to AA simply so I can see him in a few games before he gets moved up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
