AAA Tucson Padres beat the Fresno Grizzlies 8-3:
Max Ramirez(C)- 2 for 4, 2 2B. BA= .250.
Sounds like Sanchez has gotten a bit beat up behind the plate and is getting a day or two off. He appeared in this one as PH though.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Erie Seawolves 6-2:
Charlie Culberson(2B)- 1 for 4, HR(5). BA= .248.
Chris Dominguez(3B)- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .273.
Roger Kieschnick(DH)- 1 for 4, SB(9). BA= .258.

Hector Correa(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Heath Hembree(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 6.00.
After a rough AA start, Hembree seems to be finding his range.
A+ Stockton Ports outhit the San Jose Giants 9-7:
Jarrett Parker(CF)- 2 for 4, BB, 2 SB(14). BA= .263.
Alex Burg(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .417.
Jose Flores(3B)- 1 for 4, HR(1). BA= .120.
Kelvin Marte(LHP)- 5 IP, 12 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 3.43.
Gary Brown got the day off, probably for mental rest. All but 1 of Stockton's runs was earned despite 5 errors by the Giants.
Low A Savannnah Sand Gnats edged the Augusta Greenjackets 6-5:
Carlos Willoughby(2B)- 0 for 3, 2 BB. BA= .264.
Adam Duvall(3B)- 1 for 4, 3B, BB. BA= .268.
Josh Mazzola(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(6). BA= .226.

Short Season Vancouver Canadians downed the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 11-9:
Jesus Galindo(RF)- 1 for 4, 2B, BB, 2 SB(7). BA= .182.
Shawn Payne(CF)- 3 for 4, 2B, BB, 2 SB(5). BA= .310.
Joe Panik(SS)- 1 for 5. BA= .394.

Wilber Bucardo(RHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Galindo has an OBP of .308 against a BA of .182. Big game for Payne drafted out of tiny Middle Georgia College. I wonder if Murray can catch at all, because he sure seems like a hitter. Kaohi Downing is off to a good start in his transition away from pitching. Flores got hit around, but had good peripheral stats. Wilber Bucardo looking good in his comeback.
Rookie AZL Rangers pounded the Giants 9-3:
Mike Merganthaler(LF)- 1 for 5, HR(1)- BA= .286.
Leonardo Fuentes(RF)- 4 for 4, 2B. BA= .333.

Doc, Downing was originally a hitter in college. Looks like a mid .300's guy with speed. Been down to his college to watch a few games before. For those of you who don't know Point Loma Nazarene in San Diego, multiple magazines and experts would tell you it is the most beautiful park in the country, had to see for myself a few years ago, and what it lacks in history, it makes up for it with looks!

I should clarify and say it's the most beautiful college park I've seen... I don't think anyone in their right mind would challenge AT&T on a sunny day being the greatest.
ReplyDeleteDominquez has been an extra base machine since moving to AA. He has 7 doubles, 1 triple and 1 homer out of 10 total hits, including 1 double today. Is Kieshnick possibly putting himself back on the prospect map? His stats are ok so far in AA.. He hit his 9 hr today. J. Stark had a column about scouts checking out Wheeler and Hembree. Getting excited about both of them. Interesting that Hector Correia is the player they got from the Marlins for Ronnie Paulino. Wouldn't it be something if they traded for Paulino again..
ReplyDeleteYes, I am aware of Point Loma Nazarene. I have never seen it, but I know approximately where it is. I am sure it is gorgeous. Downing is getting a late jump on being a position prospects, but hey, there's always Andres Torres!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with Dominguez' performance in AA so far. Let's hope he can keep it up and maybe move up to Fresno to start next season. It would be great to have another power-hitting corner IF option in the wings.
And yes, I do think Kieschnick is very much a prospect. He got off to a slow start, but hey, it's the EL and he missed most of last season. He's been very solid since the first of May.
ReplyDeletewhat stark said about wheeler was very interesting
ReplyDeletehe quoted a scout who said, that if the giants trade wheeler...they are nuts
richmond has the lowest team era in the eastern...believe it or not...the only squad with a sub 3 era
and i think the giants need to make sure they get a long term deal with the squirrels...the diamond is much more hitter friendly and richmond has much better fan base than most of the teams in the eastern....both which are good for development
hopefully the big team will be sending over more former giants to visit...show the big club remains involved
I'd like to see the Giants become part owners of all their minor league teams like they already are with the San Jose Giants.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. The Giants would be nuts to trade Zack Wheeler. I don't think they will though.
The Giants have an excellent record under Sabean for not trading "keeper" prospects. It is the public (and media) who keep throwing out Wheeler's name.
ReplyDeleteWill be hard to get a long term deal with the owners of the Squirrels. They have been publicly stated to want to associate with the Nationals at some level (that article noted they would be willing to be a level A team for the Nats. Hopefully the Giants can change their minds, I like Richmond too, but it will be hard and an uphill battle.
