Down on the Farm: 8/13/2011

AAA Albuquerque Isotopes beat the Fresno Grizzlies 10-4:

Brandon Crawford(SS)- 1 for 3, BB, SB(4). BA= .349.
Barry Zito(LHP)- 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 2.55

No Grizzly hitter had more than 1 hit. Zito was carried off the field in the third inning after apparently re-injuring his foot in what sounds like an almost identical scenario to his original injury. I've watched a lot of baseball for a long time. Can't say I've seen very many injuries like that. Dude's been so durable over the course of his career too.

AA Binghampton Mets blanked the Richmond Flying Squirrels 7-0:

Nothing to see here.

High A San Jose Giants crushed the Lancaster Jethawks 16-3:

Gary Brown(CF)- 4 for 6, 3B, HR(10). BA= .324.
Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 4 for 6, 2B. BA= .290.
Tommy Joseph(C)- 5 for 6, 2 HR(17). BA= .270.
Andy Reichard(RHP)- 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 3.02.

Wind was blowing out to CF at 22 MPH at the start of this one. The Giants' hitters had a field day in Lancaster, but give credit to their pitchers for holding down the Lancaster hitters in those conditions. .....and wow, Lancaster may be a wind tunnel but Tommy Joseph is ridiculously hot right now.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets game was postponed.

Short Season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Spokane Indians 8-4:

Jesus Galindo(CF)- 2 for 4, BB, SB(28). BA= .280.
Joe Panik(SS)- 3 for 4, HR(5). BA= .360.
Brett Krill(RF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .345.
Chuckie Jones(LF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .261.
Lorenzo Mendoza(RHP)- 6 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.27.

Panik is hitting .472 over his last 10 games. Chuckie Jones is hitting .361 over his last 10.

Rookie AZL Giants were idle.

DSL Giants game was postponed.

Draft signing deadline coming up tomorrow. I think we might get an announcement on Ricky Oropesa today.

  2. If Joseph keeps this up, he's going to make the BA Prospect Hot Sheet next week. Surkamp made it this past week. Joseph is doing ok for a kid who just turned 20 years old.. I'm crossing my fingers for good news on Orepesa, Susac, Osich, and maybe others..

  3. Have to think his car accident that could have been fatal if not for a second or two had some sort of effect on his body. Could there have been some sort of damage caused that was undetected by the scans? Or physical connections pushed to limits that fail only once under exertion?
