White Sox reassigned LHP Aaron Poreda, 1B Ben Broussard, INF Gordon Beckham and INF Eider Torres to minor league camp; optioned RHP Adam Russell and RHP Ehren Wassermann to Triple-A Charlotte.
Poreda was given a long look, but he didn't deserve a job after giving up nine runs and posting a 7/7 K/BB ratio in 13 innings. Beckham greatly impressed, hitting .270/.325/.568. The White Sox are planning on leaving him at shortstop for now, and he'll be a regular there in Double-A. The demotions of Russell and Wassermann suggest that Mike MacDougal has a legitimate shot to reclaim a spot in the White Sox pen. Also, Jack Egbert is still hanging around. |
