What happened to Chad Poronto? In spring training he pitched pretty well and earned a roster spot because of his ability to get ground ball outs with his heavy sinker however he hasn't exactly pitched lights out since the regular season began. He has posted an 8.25 ERA in 12 Innings thus far. I may be in the minority on this one but if he continues to pitch this badly I don't really see any reason for the Braves to keep him especially considering how well Peter Moylan has been pitching. I say call up Hodges or someone else from AAA Richmond and let Poronto go if he is out of options.
