Poreda/Lofgren/Rowell
I posted this on Athleticsnation earlier, but am hoping for some more input.
I have three guys here for two spots.
We get eight minor league spots, and I have narrowed down the guys that could be axed to three:
Aaron Poreda, SP, CHW
Chuck Lofgren, SP, CLE
Billy Rowell, 3B, BAL
In case you were curious, my other minor leaguers are:
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF, BOS (moved to majors roster)
Ian Kennedy, SP, NYY (moved to majors roster)
Andrew McCutchen, CF, PIT
Michael Burgess, RF, WAS
Todd Frazier, SS, CIN (yes, he is listed at SS)
Trevor Cahill, SP, OAK
Johnny Cueto, SP, CIN (but as an A's fan, I'm hoping we can get him in a Blanton deal)
Jake McGee, SP, TB
My concerns:
Poreda: Has no second pitch, and people say he lacks control. Could end up as a reliever.
Lofgren: 2007 was a down year.
Rowell: Yes, he's been young for his levels (young for his high school grade level too), but 12 home runs and 163 k's in 547 minor league at-bats to date kinda worry me for someone with "plus" power.
Any insight would be appreciated.
