Down on the Farm: 4/10/2012

AAA Fresno Grizzlies out hit the Las Vegas 51's 10-5:

Justin Christian(LF)- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .500.
Roger Kieschnick(DH)- 3 for 5, 3B. BA= .500.
Conor Gillaspie(1B)- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .308.
Nick Noonan(3B)- 3 for 5. BA= .385.
Arias(.409) and Whiteside(.400) had 2 hits each.
Ryan Vogelsong(RHP)- 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 1.80.
George Kontos(RHP)- 1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.
Heath Hembree(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.

4 players with 3 hits each. It's still very early, but is Nick Noonan resurrecting his prospect status? Vogey looks ready to pitch for the Giants.

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Bowie Baysox 5-4:

Gary Brown(CF)- 0 for 5. BA= .261.
Juan Perez(RF)- 2 for 4, HR(1). BA=.348
Wes Hodges(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .227.
Daniel Mayora(3B)- 2 for 3, SF. BA= .353.
Chris Gloor(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 5.40.

Brown is 0 for 10 over his last 2 games. Ouch!

High A San Jose Giants outscored the High Desert Mavericks by a touchdown and 2 point conversion:

Jarrett Parker(LF)- 4 for 6, 3B, HR(3). BA= .375.
Duvall(.308), Lofton(.273) and Jurica(.368) had 4 hits each.
Seth Rosin(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.

Ricky DNP. I was going to go to this game but got a heads up that Ricky was not in the lineup. Apparently just part of the rotation of players. Giants banged out 25 hits. There was a weather front moving in last evening so I'm guessing it was pretty windy up in Adelanto(Just read it was a 30 MPH wind blowing R-L).

Low A Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Charleston River Dogs 2-0:

Shawn Payne(LF)- 3 for 4, 2B. BA= .421.
Ben Thomas(1B)- 2 for 4. BA= .304.
Chuckie Jones(CF)- 1 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .120.
Edwin Escobar(LHP)- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Paul Davis(RHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.
Cody Hall(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.

I was surprised that Payne did not get assigned to SJ. He's tearing up the SAL so far. Escobar has a Zitoesque pitching line. He seems like he's been around forever, but does not turn 20 yo for a few more days.

  1. Let's hope this high-standard deviation trend with Brown doesn't continue.

  2. Chuckie Jones with a 2 game hitting streak. Maybe there will be some movement when Galindo and RafRod come online, with Parker hitting in SJ and Payne in Augusta, if they keep it up, that could lead to some musical chairs. Cody Hall is starting the season off nicely as well.

  3. Been off the net for a week -- did we enter Bizarro Giants World?

    Zito throws a shutout in Coors and 0 BB

    Giants scoring 4+ runs/game and are 1-3

    Timmy, MadBum, Cain 0-3

    What did you guys do????

  4. DrB, what do you think of Shawn Payne's chances of being promoted to San Jose sometime soon? Given that Ryan Lollis and Chris Lofton are starters in the Giant's outfield, a promotion for Payne wouldn't affect the playing time of a major prospect in San Jose.
