AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Tucson Padres 8-5:
Brock Bond(3B)- 3 for 3, BB, SB(2). BA= .345.
Ryan Lollis(CF)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .333.
Skyler Sromsmoe(RF)- 1 for 2, 2 BB, SB(13). BA= .259.
Yusmeiro Petit(RHP)- 7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 3.14.
Lollis gets the call from San Jose to fill in for Pegs who is apparently hurt. Bond doesn't hit for power at all, but he has always peppered the field with base hits his entire minor league career.
AA Game 1 Richmond Flying Squirrels blanked the Harrisburg Senators 4-0:
Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B, CS(14). BA= .290.
Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 1 for 2, BB, Sac. BA= .220.
Justin Fitzgerald(RHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 3.95.
Brett Bochy(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 1.36.
Game 2 Harrisburg Senators edged the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-2:
Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, 3 SB(25). BA= .292.
Juan Perez(RF)- 2 for 3, 2B. BA= .282.
Daryl Maday(RHP)- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.14.
It's not easy to get multiple hits in 7 inning games, but Brownie did it twice. He now has multiple hits in 7 straight and 8 of 10. He's hitting .435 with a SLG% of .696. Some have noted that he's not drawing walks. Not sure why he would want to draw walks when he's hitting .435. Brown's history is he draws more walks when he's not hitting, but when he's hitting, well, it's like Yogi Berra once said, "I hit the bad pitches so good, I didn't see why I should wait for a good one!" LOL!
Fitzgerald has allowed just 2 runs in his last 20 innings over 3 starts with 18 K's and 6 BB's.
High A San Jose Giants cracked the Modesto Nuts 5-4:
Carter Jurica(2B)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .277.
Joe Panik(SS)- 1 for 4, HR(5), BB. BA= .256.
Aubrey Huff(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .273.
Alex Burg(RF)-2 for 4, 2B. BA= .266.
Jose Valdez(RHP)- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, BS(3), W(5-4). ERA= 3.07.
Jurica is hitting leadoff with Lollis called up to Fresno. Not sure what role there is for Huff on the Big Giants. Hopefully Panik gets untracked here.
Low A Augusta Greenjackets stung the Greenville Drive 3-1:
Shawn Payne(LF)- 3 for 4, SB(33). BA= .314.
Kyle Crick(RHP)- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 2.94.
Chris Marlowe(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's ERA= 3.65.
Cody Hall(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(16). ERA= 1.44.
Crick's line is not as dominant as some he's had but very effective. Marlowe moves to the pen. I think he might be coming off a 7 day DL stint as it's been 11 days since he last pitched.
Short Season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Yakima Bears 6-4:
Matt Duffy(SS)- 2 for 3, BB, SB(6). BA= .277.
Charles Jones(CF)- 1 for 3, SF. BA= .232.
Mitch Delfino(3B)- 3 for 4. BA= .333.
Andrew Cain(RF)- 2 for 4, SB(4). BA= .232.
Raymundo Montero(RHP)- 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 2.97.
Tyler Mizenko(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(5). ERA= 2.31.
Rookie AZL Giants outlasted the Royals 9-8 in 10 innings:
Randy Ortiz(CF)- 2 for 6, 3B, SB(8). BA= .263.
Tyler Hollick(DH)- 3 for 4, 1 2B, 2 3B, 2 BB. BA= .571.
Gabriel Cornier(C)- 2 for 3. BA= .357.
Jean Delgado(2B)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .300.
Travious Relaford(SS)- 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB. BA= .297.
Brandon Allen(RHP)- 1.2 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 7.31.
Emmanuel DeJesus(LHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 2.25.
Eduardo Encinosa(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, Save(2). ERA= 0.00.
Hollick put up video game numbers in JC ball. So far, he's doing it again in his pro debut. Is Relaford translating raw talent into skills? Gotta start wondering if Allen is ever going to get past the lower minors.
DSL Giants beat the Pirates2 6-2:
Nicol Parra(LF)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .274.
Carlos Valdez(RF)- 2 for 5, 3B. BA= .255.
Angel Villalona(1B)- 2 for 5, HR(4). BA= .326.
Carlos Diaz(LHP)- 7 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 5.45.
Carlos Alvarado(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's, Save(2). ERA= 1.29.

DrB, do you think Tyler Hollick might be the surprise of this years draft like Clayton Blackburn was last year?? The best thing about him is that he doesn't turn 20 until September, so Giants can take it slow with him.
ReplyDeleteHollick has only played a couple of games so it's too early to tell. The last JC draftee with those kind of college numbers was Juan Perez, but yeah, those JC numbers on Hollick were very interesting and there's always a possibility he's a overlooked talent.
DeleteAny chance they have Panik repeat SJ? The SJ offense looks kinda blah next year, so they may want to keep a bit of pop in there to protect the psyche of the OMG rotation they will have.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was having a convo on another site about the possibility of keeping Susac back to work with that staff as well. What are your thoughts?
A first round draft pick is going to get every benefit of the doubt as far as promotion goes. Probably still too early to make a call on Panik. Wouldn't be shocked to see Panik in the Arizona Fall League then go to AA next year.
DeleteI think the Giants would be better off promoting Jeff Arnold to San Jose, where he hit well earlier this year over about ten games. He would probably be a better presence behind the plate for Blackburn, Crick, and Mejia than Susac as Arnold has been catching them for most of this season in Augusta.
DeleteDoes anyone know if Ryan Tella signed with the Giants before the deadline? He looked like a steal for the 11th round of the draft.
ReplyDeleteAccording to a poster over on MCC, Tella tweeted that he would be going back to Auburn next year.
DeleteDrB, are you surprised that Lollis got the call instead of Brownie? I realize the latter is coming on now and maybe the thought was don't mess with him and let's just see what Lollis can do. I get that, especially give with all three of our OFs unsigned for next year, we really need someone to be ready to fill the gap if we can't sign all three (and I'm assuming that we do sign Melky, which is hardly a sure thing).
ReplyDeleteNot surprised. They aren't going to promote Brown to fill a need in Fresno. He'll get the promo when they think he's ready. Lollis is more of an organizational type player who they will put wherever he is needed.
DeleteDrB, what are your thoughts on on a trade for Gio Gonzalez and Ian Desmond (I know this is out there, just bear with me) I was thinking along these lines:
ReplyDeleteGiants get: Gio Gonzalez, Ian Desmond
Nationals get: Tim Lincecum, Brandon Crawford, Clayton Blackburn, Joe Panik, Nick Noonan.
Nationals would not make that trade, now or in the offseason.
DeleteWhat would you have to add to get Desmond and Gonzalez?
DeleteI really think you are barking up the wrong tree with this one. The Nats are not going to trade Gio and Desmond.
