Down on the Farm: 08-21-2010

AAA Colorado Springs Skysox blanked the Fresno Grizzlies 2-0:

Henry Sosa- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.00.
Tony Pena- 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 5.76.

The Grizz managed just 3 hits.

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels hung on to edge the Bowie Baysox 7-6:

Nick Noonan- 1 for 4, BB. BA= .250.
Thomas Neal- 1 for 3, HR(11), BB, SF. BA= .293.
Brandon Belt- 1 for 4, HR(9), BB. BA= .319.
Conor Gillaspie- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .293.
David Quinowski- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 1.04.
Rafael Cova- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(21). ERA= 2.19.

The lads continue to hit well. Belt keeps belting! I am still optimistic about Neal being the Giants starting LF of the future.

HIgh A Stockton Ports downed the San Jose Giants 9-6:

Jose Flores- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .332.
Charlie Culberson- 2 for 4, BB, SB(23). BA= .310.
Matt Klimas- 1 for 3, HR(1). BA= .241.
Johnny Monell- 1 for 1, 2B. BA= .268.
Ehire Adrianza- 1 for 3, S, SB(29). BA= .253.
Andrew Romo- 1 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 1 K. ERA= 45.00.

Culberson looking to make a strong finish to an excellent, breakout season. Flores just keeps hitting. Romo gets a rough greeting in the Cal League.

Low A Lexington Legends held off the Augusta Greenjackets 7-6:

Skyler Stromsmoe- 3 for 5. BA= .270.
Chris Dominguez- 2 for 4. BA= .263.
Tommy Joseph- 1 for 3, HR(15), SF. BA= .242.
Jesse Shriner- 2 for 4. BA= .267.
Ryan Lollis- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .295.
Jeremy Toole- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.08.
Jose Valdez- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 3.51.

I think Tommy Joseph has had a fantastic season for his first professional experience.

Short Season Yakima Bears topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 5-2:

Edward Concepcion- 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 8/1. ERA= 6.59.
Kaohi Downing- 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 1.50.
Jake Dunning- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K's. ERA= 2.84.

Nice start for Concepcion who has struggled with the higher level this year.

Rookie AZL Cubs downed the Giants 4-3:

Wes Hobson- 2 for 4. BA= .295.
Rafael Rodriguez- 2 for 4. BA= .286.
Matt Downs- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .250.
Derek Dibbens- 2 for 3, 2B. BA= .333.
Kendry Flores- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 11/1. ERA= 3.51.
Ryan Bradlely- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA- 4.96.
Jake Shadle- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 6.75.

Flores should be moving up the prospect lists. RafRod seems to stay consistent. He'll have to move it up to higher levels next year.

DSL Nationals beat the Giants 5-3:

Luis Angeles- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 1.85.
