Down on the Farm: 6/19//2011

Fresno Grizzlies topped the Sacramento River Cats 4-2:

Darren Ford(CF)- 1 for 3, BB, SB(8). BA= .289.
Edgar Gonzalez(2B)- 2 for 4, SB(9). BA= .302.
Conor Gillaspie(3B)- 2 for 4. BA= .292.
Tyler Graham(DH)- 1 for 3, S, SB(34)- BA= .268.
Thomas Neal(LF)- 1 for 3, BB. BA= .328.
Dan Runzler(LHP)- 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.92.
Dan Otero(RHP)- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(3). ERA= 0.00.

Runzler's line looks like a typical Jonathan Sanchez line with fewer K's.

AA Bowie Baysox lit up Ryan Verdugo and cruised to a 12-4 win over the Richmond Flying Squirrels:

Juan Perez(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .243.
Wes Hodges(1B)- 1 for 4, 3B. BA= .200.
Ryan Verdugo(LHP)- 2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 3 BB, 1 K. ERA= 3.84.
Wilmin Rodriguez(LHP)- 3 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 2.41.
Heath Hembree(RHP)- 0.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 1 K. ERA= 18.00.

Not too many bright spots here.

A+ San Jose Giants cracked the Modesto Nuts 2-1:

Gary Brown(CF)- 0 for 4. BA= .328.
Francisco Peguero(DH)- 3 for 4, SB(4). BA= .324.
Ryan Cavan(2B)- 3 for 4. BA= .280.
Jarrett Parker(RF)- 2 for 4. BA= .268.
Wendell Fairley(LF)- 2 for 3, 2B. BA= .249.
Craig Westcott(RHP)- 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 2.09.
Tom Vessella(LHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Mitch Lively(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(2). ERA= 1.77.

Brown is in a definite slump that seemed to start about the time Peguero arrived on the scene. Not saying there is a connection. Vessella is a 25 yo organizational pitcher who has seen time in Richmond and Augusta prior to this appearance. LIvely appears to be the new SJ closer.

Low A Augusta Greenjeckets blanked the Asheville Tourists 6-0 as they completed a game suspended yesterday:

Carlos Willoughby(2B)- 2 for 5, HR(1). BA= .267.
Devin Harris(LF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .233.
Taylor Rogers(RHP)- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K's, GO/AO= 7/1. ERA= 2.27.
Jacob Dunnington(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.69.
Brett Bochy(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 1.84.

Asheville Travelers edged the Augusta Greenjackets 8-7 in the regularly scheduled game:

Carlos Willoughby(2B)- 1 for 2, 3 BB. BA= .269.
Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 2 for 4. BA= .238.
Adam Duvall(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .269.
Raynor Campbell(3B)- 2 for 4, HR(6), SB(9). BA= .223.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 9 K's. ERA= 4.31.

Dunnington has 50 K's against 27 BB's in 39 IP. Young Mr. Bochy has 20 K's against 5 BB's in 14.2 IP. Adrianza is hitting .208 over his last 10 games. Kickham was missing bats.

Short Season Spokane Indians came from behind to edge the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 4-3:

Jesus Galindo(RF)- 0 for 3, BB, SB(2). BA= .000
Joe Panik(SS)- 2 for 3, HR(1), BB. BA= .583.
Chuckie Jones(LF)- 1 for 3, 2B, HBP. BA= .500.
Reiner Roibal(RHP)- 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 10 K's. ERA= 2.25.
Phil McCormick(LHP)- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= .000.

Wow! Thats a fairly dominant 4 IP for Reiner Roibal. Do we have another high ceiling pitching prospect? Joe Panik is performing exactly as you would hope a first round draft choice would perform. I'm sky high no Chuckie Jones!

DSL Giants were idle as usual on Sundays.

  1. Banks had a decent outing for Fresno too, could be something there.

  2. Maybe as an emergency starter or something. He's a former Padre who got lit up in SD. Pretty much an organizational guy at this point.

  3. I am stoked about Chuckie Jones too Doc. Just seems like he has all the tools to be a legitimate run producer in the bigs.

    Also, Joe Panik wasn't kidding... he really does want to move right along. When is a normal time to start seeing some of these half-season over-achievers move up to the higher levels?

  4. JazzHands, Brown might be slumping at the exact wrong time to get a move up to offense-challenged Richmond - where it seems to me half yhe outfield is organization and journey men rather than prospects. Now maybe Peguero moves up, since he is showing almost the same line as he had last season in San Jose (before starting late due to injury).

  5. kennv, i think you misunderstood me. I was wondering when the normal time for guys from Salam half-season to get moved up to Augusta or San Jose? I would just like to see what Panik and Chuckie Jones could do against more advanced pitching prospects, although I think short-season will have an influx of good prospects as drafted players slowly start to sign...

  6. I think Chuckie Jones will stay at S-K the whole short season mostly due to his age. There is precedent for top draft choices to move up quickly if they start out hot. If Panik keeps it up for a week or so, I wouldn't be at all shocked to see him move up to San Jose where they don't seem to really have a shortstop right now.

  7. doc,

    I agree About both Panik AND Chuckles. San Jose has already been semi-hit by promotions, and they should get AT LEAST 2 more some time this week (Peguero, Brown). I can see Panik, Duvall and maybe Willoughby getting the bump to SJ to completely redo the infield.
