Down on the Farm: 06-11-2010

AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 8-2:

Brock Bond- 1 for 3, BB, HBP. BA= .297. OBP= .422!
Tyler Graham- 3 for 4, 2B, S. BA= .421.
Eugenio Velez- 2 for 4. BA= .330.
Matt Yourkin- 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K. ERA= 3.92.
Brandon Medders- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.18.

Don't know what to make of Graham except that it's a small sample size and he's had hot streaks in the past.

AA Reading Phillies pounded the Richmond Flying Squirrels 11-5:

Darren Ford- 1 for 5, HR(4). BA= .235
Skyler Stromsmoe- 3 for 5, 3B, SB(4). BA= .333.
Thomas Neal- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .272.

Stromsmoe is a similar player to Tyler Graham with a similar history. Neal is hitting .342 over his last 10 games.

High A San Jose Giants blanked the Bakersfield Blaze 4-0:

Ehire Adrianza- 1 for 3, 3B, BB. BA= .252.
Charlie Culberson- 2 for 3, HR(8), BB. BA= .295.
Craig Westcott- 6.2 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 1.23.
Kyle Woodruff- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.89.

Culberson is showing up in the highlights almost daily for quite awhile now. Westcott has been dominant so far.

Low A Hickory Crawdads edged the Augusta Greenjackets 2-1:

Luke Anders- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .286.
Chris Heston- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 5.74.
Andy Reichard- 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00.

Reichard must be on a rehab assignment. He started the season in San Jose's rotation, got pounded and disappeared for awhile.

DSL(game 1) Mets beat the Giants 5-1:

Marvin Barrios- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. First appearance for the 17 yo bonus baby.

DSLl(game 2) Mets edged the Giants 4-3:

Leonardo Fuentes- 1 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .229.
Renzo Freite- 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 1.29. Don't have a BD on him, but he's new this year.

Right now, I'm aiming to go to the SJ Giants game at High Desert this coming Wednesday night.
