Down on the Farm: 9/3/2011

AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 4-2:

Justin Christian(CF)- 1 for 4, BB, SB(36). BA= .330.
Tyler Graham(RF)- 1 for 3, Sac, SB(59). BA= .271.
Nick Liles(LF)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .571.
Dan Runzler(LHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.98.

Nick Liles is not intimidated by AAA.

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels outlasted the Altoona Curve 6-3 in 14 innings:

Charlie Culberson(2B)- 3 for 7, 2 2B. BA= .261.
Francisco Peguero(RF)- 2 for 7, 2B. BA= .312.
Juan Perez(CF)- 4 for 6, 3B, Assist(home). BA= .254.
Johnny Monell(C)- 3 for 6, 2 2B, 3B. BA= .249.

Culby is hitting .349 with a .535 SLG% over his last 10 games. I hope Johnny Monell gets a chance to move up to Fresno next year. I think he will put up some impressive numbers there.

High A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes rocked the San Jose Giants 22-8:

Tommy Joseph(DH)- 2 for 4, 2 HR(22). BA= .269.
Alex Burg(1B-C)- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(14). BA= .295.

Burg is on a slugging tear with 5 dingers and 5 doubles in his last 10 games. Gotta be excited about Joseph.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets outlasted the Rome Braves 9-8 in 16 innings:

Rafael Rodriguez(LF)- 2 for 6, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .238.
Joel Weeks(3B-LF)- 3 for 7, 2B, BB. BA= .296.
Jose Valdez(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Seth Rosin(RHP)- 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 3.34.
Edward Concepcion(RHP)- 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.61.

There were no runs scored in this game between the 5'th and the 16'th innings. Valdez, Rosin and Concepcion were dominant. Don't forget that RafRod just turned 19 late this season. He can repeat Augusta and still be young for the level.

Short Season Tri-City Dust Devils topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 3-1:

Dan Burkhart(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .285.]
Kendry Flores(RHP)- 3.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 5.06.
Matt Graham(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA- 8.35.
Chris Gloor(LHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 2.45.

  1. the way i see the depth chart in catching right now is, joseph, monell, murray....with joseph having an edge, till we see what he does in the eastern

    all 3 are built like catchers and should be able to take a pounding behind the plate, and should make it much easier for posey to slide over to first

    augusta and richmond are in the drivers seat for the playoffs...both put on impressive second halfs

    panink and brown to join craw in the afl...i think the giants have one more spot, hope its joseph

  2. I think I read that the Giants have 6 spots in the AFL, 3 position players and 3 pitchers. Love the Panik, Brown, Crawford combo, though.

    What about Hector Sanchez on the catching depth chart? Susac? Dang! That is come catching talent Down on the Farm! Those catching prospects can have almost as much trade value as pitchers.

  3. forgot about the susac draft

    and i was talking on the farm

    i expect sanchez to be posey's backup next season

    gonna miss whitey and stewart....but this team has gotta get young

    oh ya...the afl only lets you have 3 position players...wonder where they are gonna send joseph for the winter...

    and you are right about the trade value,

    evans has done a fine job at rebuilding the farm system

  6. Great for Antoan Richardson, one of the all-time most popular San Jose Giants. Super nice guy. Even got his first MLB hit today!

    On the down side, worst loss in San Jose Giants team history last night. Apparently their pitching was horrible enough that they might as well have given up the 22 runs in the first 6 innings, let alone that half of them came in the 9th.

  7. Kroon ain't coming up, Bacci. I don't think there are any more episodes of the reality TV show. Do you really think there are more than a handful of fans who have any idea who Marc Kroon is? Sorry, but there's no PR in that and I hate PR stunts anyway.

  8. doc,

    there is where you are wrong

    thousands of giant fans read baggs column...thousands more saw the first epi of the franchise...thousands more have been following kroon in fresno

    and i love pr stunts..so do the giants

    guess you havent noticed the timmy hair, beards, panda and giraffe hats

  9. Kroon has not performed well enough to justify adding him to the 40 man roster, let alone the 25 man active roster, even in mop up time. I don't think we are going to see him in SF. That's all I have to say about it.

  10. I think that if somebody is going to be added to the 40 man roster as a favor there are more deserving players out there. Justin Christian is just one that comes to mind.
