Down on the Farm: 8/22/2011

Before we delve into the farm, we'll note that the Nationals defeated the D'Backs tonigh, 4-1 so the Giants trail them in the NL West by just 1 game coming into the most favorable stretch of the season. Can the Giants overcome the injuries and get it done? Go Giants!!

AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Las Vegas 51's 6-4:

Andres Torres(CF)- 2 for 5, 3B, HR(3). BA= .270.
Brett Pill(1B)- 3 for 5. BA= .312.
Conor Gillaspie(3B)- 3 for 4, 2B. BA= .296.
Jason Stevenson(LHP)- 6.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 5.68.
Waldis Joaquin(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K's. ERA= 3.33.

Torres is at his best when he is driving the ball. He's had trouble maintaining it this year. I don't know what Stevenson has been doing the last 6 years of his life. He last pitched in the affiliated minor leagues in 2005!

AA Altoona Curve edged the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-2:

Francisco Peguero(RF)- 1 for 4, HR(4). BA= .295.
Chris Dominguez(3B)- 2 for 4, SB(1). BA= .250.

Ryan Verdugo(LHP)- 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 4.17.

High A San Jose Giants destroyed the High Desert Mavericks 18-4:

Gary Brown(CF)- 3 for 5, 2 3B. BA= .323.
Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 1 for 4, HR(3), SF, HBP. BA= .303.
Tommy Joseph(C)- 2 for 5, 2B(30), HR(20). BA= .269.
Nick Noonan(3B)- 2 for 4, SF. BA= .276.
Luke Anders(1B)- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B. BA= .251.
Juan Ciriaco(LF)- 3 for 4, 2B, 3B. BA= .301.
Kelvin Marte(LHP)- 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.29.
Ari Ronick(LHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.27.
Jake Dunning(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.48.

The Mavs committed 5 errors and the Giants committed 3 in this one.

Low A Kannapolis Intimidators outlasted the Augusta Greenjackets 3-2 in 12 innings:

Adam Duvall(3B)- 2 for 4, 2B, S. BA= .292.
Josh Mazzola(1B)- 2 for 4, HR(13), BB, SF. BA= .256.
Ryan Scoma(RF)- 2 for 4, BB. BA= .249.
Robert Haney(SS)- 3 for 5. BA= .240.
Ryan Bradley(LHP)- 6.2 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's, GO/AO= 8/1. ERA= 3.80.

Bradley has a ERA of 2.22 over his last 10 appearances with a 2.48 GO/AO.

Short Season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Vancouver Canadians 14-5:

Jesus Galindo(CF)- 2 for 5, SB(37). BA= .286.
Shawn Payne(LF)- 2 for 4, 3B, 2 BB. BA= .310.
Joe Panik(SS)- 2 for 5, 3B, HR(6). BA= .346.
Mike Murray(DH)- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .333.
Brett Krill(RF)- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B. BA= .320.
Garrett Buechele(3B)- 2 for 4, HR(5), BB. BA= .264.
Ben Thomas(1B)- 2 for 4, BB. BA= .224.
Jack Snodgrass(LHP)- 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 3.49.
Chris Gloor(LHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.45.

Wow! Where do I start? Right now, the Giants farm system is like AM/PM: Too much good stuff!

Rookie AZL Giants downed the Angels 6-5:

Kelby Tomlinson(SS)- 1 for 3, 2 BB. BA= .344.
Christian Paulino(2B)- 1 for 2, 3 BB, SB(7). BA= .250.
Eldred Barnett(LF)- 1 for 4, HR(2). BA= .260.
Jonathan Jones(1B)- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB. BA= .167.

Jones was the 23'rd round draft choice of the Giants this year out of JC ball in Canada. He's listed as a 3B in BA's Draft Database. At 6'4", 205 lb he may profile more as a 1B. I've read that he may be a bit of a project but has a high ceiling.

  1. Woo hoo! Brown has 12 triples (along with 27 doubles and 10 HR). Imagine what he could accomplish with his gap power at AT&T! I can't wait for the 2012/2013 world premiere of "When Gary Met Alley"... we could be talking 20 triples in some seasons.

  2. I missed Thomas getting the bump to SK. When did that happen? Not doing so well yet, unless that BA only represents 3 games...

  3. It's actually 16 games and 58 AB's for Thomas for S-K, but he's 3 for 3 so far tonight which has his BA up to .262.

  4. Thomas finished 4-5 tonight with a double and a homerun. Add 4 RBI not a bad night. Heard from a giants scout that he has been smashing the ball just getting unlucky.
