Down on the Farm: 6/19/2012

Brett Pill(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B, HBP.  BA= .419.
Dan Runzler(LHP)- 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 18.00.

AA  Trenton Thunder edged the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-2:

Gary Brown(CF)- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .240.
Juan Perez(RF)- 2 for 4.  BA= .282.

High A  Carolina League All-Stars crushed the Cal League All-Stars 9-1:

Jack Snodgrass(LHP)- 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 0 K.   Snodgrass was the only representative of the San Jose Giants.

Low A  SAL North topped the SAL South 3-2 in the SAL All-Star game:

Cody Hall(RHP)- 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  Hall was the lone representative from the Augusta Greenjackets. No Clayton Blackburn?

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Boise Hawks 4-1:

Chuckie Jones(DH)- 2 for 3, SF.  BA= .333.
Andrew Cain(RF)- 1 for 4, 2 OF Assists(both at 3B).  BA= .333.
Mario Rodriguez(LHP)- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 9/2.  ERA= 0.00.
Tyler Mizenko(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save()1).  ERA= 0.00.

Cain is one of several sleepers with tremendous upside taken late in the draft.  He put his throwing tool on display tonight.  Can't really go wrong with that last name either.  Rodriguez is a 23 yo who has been in the organization since 2006. He pitched for Augusta last season.  He may be rehabbing an injury here.

DSL  Giants beat Yankees1 12-6 in a game shortened to 8 innings:

Nicoll Parra(CF)- 1 for 3, 2B, 3 BB.  BA= .267.
Rando Moreno(SS)- 3 for 4, 2 BB, SB(8).  BA= .278.
Angel Villalona(1B)- 3 for 5.  BA= .450.
Royel Astacio(3B)- 3 for 5, BB.  BA= .413.
Hengerberger Medina(2B)- 1 for 2, 3 BB.  BA= .500.

This is the first time we've seen Medina's name in a box score and what a name it is!  He's 17 yo so probably a recent signee.
