AAA Fresno Grizzlies mauled the Las Vegas 51's 9-3:
Justin Christian(LF)- 4 for 5, HR(1). BA= .462.
Charlie Culberson(2B)- 3 for 4. BA= .421.
Joaquin Arias(SS)- 3 for 4, 2 HR(2). BA= .412.
Yusmeiro Petit(RHP)- 6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.00.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels staved off the Bowie Baysox 5-4:
Chris Dominguez(LF)- 4 for 4, 2B, HR(1), SB(1). BA= .556.
Juan Perez(RF)- 2 for 4, SB(1). BA= .316.
Johnny Monell(C)- 2 for 3, 2B, SB(1). BA= .333.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 3.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Daryl Maday(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, Save(2). ERA= 0.00.
Dominguez is red hot. Is Monell going to force someone to notice him this year? Kickham had a Durtyesque start. Looks like Maday is the closer in Richmond.
High A High Desert Mavericks held off the San Jose Giants 6-5:
Adam Duvall(DH)- 3 for 4, 2B. BA= .200.
Jack Snodgrass(LHP)- 4.1 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 6/0.
Josh Osich- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K. ERA= 0.00.
Duvall's bat has been quiet. Hopefully this game gets it going.
Low A Augusta Greenjackets defeated the Charleston River Dogs:
Kelby Tomlinson(SS)- 3 for 4, 3B, BB, SB(2). BA= .238.
Chuckie Jones(CF)- 1 for 4, HR(1). BA= .091.
Brett Krill(RF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .250.
Joseph Biagini(RHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.50.
Demondre Arnold(RHP)- 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 3.60.
Chuckie Jones got just his 2'nd hit of the season, but it was a longball. He is playing CF in Augusta in preference to Shawn Payne. Biagini is a local kid from the Bay Area who went to college at UC Davis. Obviously a bit on the raw side. Love the K's, hate the walks for Arnold.

Don't you love having to check all 4 of your farm teams with real interest? Sure couldn't do that with any enthusiasm back in 2006. I read some of the comments on that John Barr article, one commenter has a nice division of the Sabeans - the 1996-2002 slickster and then the second one with the bad trades and mediocre vets. I think there's a third one, and while the division has overlaps with some bad FA money, it all starts in 2006. And as the talent comes in, he leaves placeholders for the guys they like to win jobs, and avoids the long term contracts.
ReplyDeleteFor all the back and forth about Molina/Posey, they were very clear to Bengie it was a short term deal and he was likely to get traded. For all the current grief about Huff, no matter what he does this year he's gone next year and Belt had better be ready by then. Gary Brown is progressing along (0 for 5 all infield groundouts but had a long running catch to keep the win intact in the ninth - I listened to the last 3 innings on interwebz radio). I think they purposely didn't go sign another catcher because they thought Sanchez was ready and were just testing him during spring training.
There are about 30 prospects I am following with rabid interest, another 30 are more interesting than anything we had six years ago and our filler is even as talented as the guys out of the top 20 in 2006. THESE ARE NOT YOUR FATHERS PIANO MOVERS!
Are you trying to tell me with a straight face that Eddy Martinez-Esteve wasn't ever a legitimate Top 20? We're also overlooking Brian Bocock and the will-be 30hr+ a year Tony Torcato.
DeleteWait, upon further analysis, I think you're right about the Farm.
Between Kickham, Arnold and Biagini, that's 13 walks and 12 strikeouts in 8.2 ininigs and Hall and Marlowe didn't even pitch.
ReplyDeleteAnd in a blink of an eye, Kinsler and Phillips are gone off the market, poof! Teams lock up their premium talent. The FA market is where teams go to overpay for flawed talent now. So important to draft and develop. And that is what the Giants are doing. I'm quite sure Granderson and Cano will be locked up in the next year, and a once promising free agent class will look quite mediocre by the time signing rolls around.
