AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeate the Tacoma Rainiers 7-2:
Justin Christian(RF)- 1 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(35). BA= .332.
Tyler Graham(CF)- 1 for 3, 2 BB, 2 SB(58). BA= .270.
Edgar Gonzalez(SS)- 3 for 5. BA= .319.
Nick Liles(LF)- 2 for 4, SB()1). BA= .500.
Liles gets the callup. It may be just an organizational move though.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels beat the Altoona Curve 8-4:
Wendell Fairley(LF)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .275.
Charlie Culberson(2B)- 1 for 5, HR(10). BA= .258.
Perez and Stromsmoe had 2 hits each with a SB for Perez.
HIgh A San Jose Giants downed the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 9-7:
Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 5, HR(13), BB. BA= .338.
Hector Sanchez(DH)- 2 for 4, BB. BA= .303.
Tommy Joseph(C)- 2 for 2, BB, 2 HBP. BA= .267.
Ryan Cavan(2B)- 3 for 4, 2B, HBP. BA= .271.
Kelvin Marte(LHP)- 5 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.47.
Ari Ronick(LHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 2.90.
Jake Dunning(RHP)- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 4.20.
I have this mental picture of Tommy Joseph HBP and the ball just drops to the ground lopsided. He looks that solid.
Low A Augusta Greenjackets stung the Rome Braves 7-4:
Robert Haney(SS)- 2 for 3, 2 BB, SB(1). BA= .247.
Ryan Scoma(1B)- 4 for 5, 2B, HR(6). BA= .254.
Devin Harris(RF)- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(6). BA= .233.
Valdez, Rosin and Bochy pitched a scoreless inning each with Rosin and Bochy getting 2 K's and Bochy getting the Save(10).
Short Season Tri-City Dust Devils topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 3-1:
Paul Davis(RHP)- 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 1.50.
Davis has 9 K's against 3 BB's in 11 IP in 2 starts for S-K.
As I mentioned in the comments of the previous post, Clayton Tanner was signed by the Cincinnati Reds.
The Giants are reportedly on the verge of settling their financial dispute with Angel Villalona, paving the way for him to rejoin the organization. He will initially report to the Dominican Academy while awaiting a visa to come to the States.
The Giants called up 5 minor leaguers as active rosters were allowed to expand to 40: Emmanuel Burriss, Brandon Crawford, Conor Gillaspie, Darren Ford and Waldis Joaquin. Eric Surkamp, Dan Runzler and Hector Sanchez are due to follow soon.

hembree wom cal league rp of the year
ReplyDeletemurray got an as nod for the nwl
Nice to see Jose Cuevas get sent to Fresno to play 3B even if it was for Gillaspie. Jose had a great year with .337 avg, 9 hrs and 46 rbis in only 46 games in AZL. His profile says SS but I am not sure if his arm is good. If he can hit at the higher levels and can play SS he will probably move through the system quickly.
ReplyDeleteI like what I am seeing from Melonhead Jr. and Gary Brown is still on fire. With Surkamp, Blackburn, Hembree, Verdugo and Marte I think we have good depth in our pitching if someone like Wilson or Sanchez was to leave. Replacing Cainer or Timmy will be tough.
Much as I hate anything longer than a 3 year contract for any pitcher, I think the Giants are going to have to pony up at least 6 years each for Cainer and Timmy. They seem like as good a risk as any though.
ReplyDeleteI sure wouldn't give a 6-year deal to Lincecum; his mechanics are so complicated that he walks a razor-thin line to maintain his delivery. Don't get me wrong - he's a fabulous pitcher when he's right. But when you are giving out long contracts, you are gambling. I'd take that risk on Cain, but not on Lincecum.
ReplyDeleteI generally agree on Lincecum, but a 4 year, $100M contract (with option year) this offseason would be a compromise and he would still be only 30 when he gets his big package. Plus maybe the Giants can trade him that last season and get some great prospects to fuel the second half of this decade.
ReplyDeleteCan do a maybe $100M over 5-6 years for Cainer as well.
Ha ha, loved your comment on Joseph DrB, good one!
Funny how teams associated with former Giants management end up picking up a lot of ex-Giants, Reds (Baker), Dodgers (Colletti), though A's have picked up a number of ex-Giants too.
Timmy isn't FA elgible for 2 more years. Doubt he gets more than $20 M in any given year through arbitration. $100 M for 4 years this offseason seems like a pretty big overpay to me. Maybe somewhere about 85 M for 4 years?
