AAA Las Vegas 51's defeated the Fresno Grizzlies 5-4:
Nothing to see here. No multi-hit lines and Tanner got roughed up in his start.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels soared over the Altoona Curve 10-2:
Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, HR(5), BB, SB(27). BA= .292.
Daniel Mayora(3B)- 4 for 4, 2B. BA= .306.
Mark Minicozzi(1B)- 2 for 3, BB. BA= .302.
Ryan Cavan(2B)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .245.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 11/3. ERA= 2.71.
Jacob Dunnington(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.
Tim Alderson(RHP, Curve)- 2.2 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 4 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.40.
Brownie stays hot. Good, but not spectacular game from Kickham. Tim Alderson has pitched better this year, but go roughed up pretty bad in this one. Gotta say it looks like the Sanchez trade ended up favoring the Giants even with all his injuries.
High A Lancaster Jethawks edged the San Jose Giants 4-3:
Joe Panik(DH)- 2 for 2, 2 BB. BA= .262.
Alex Burg(RF)- 1 for 3, HR(8), BB. BA= .263.
Ricky Oropesa(1B)- 0 for 4. BA= .248.
Taylor Rogers(RHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.93.
Hopefully Panik is coming out of his slump. Hate to say it but Ricky is in a bad one right now.
Low A Game 1 Augusta Greenjackets blanked the West Virginia Power 2-0:
Ben Thomas(1B)- 1 for 2, HR(4). BA= .243.
Brett Krill(RF)- 1 for 2, HR(3). BA= .267.
Edwin Escobar(LHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.43.
Game 2 West Virginia Power turned the tables on the Augusta Greenjackets 2-0:
Clayton Blackburn(RHP)- 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 9/2. ERA= 2.82.
Augusta pitching continues to be the strength of the organization.
Short Season Everett Aquasox topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 6-2:
Ryan Jones(2B)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .257.
Chuckie Jones(CF)- 1 for 4, BB. BA= .224.
Mike Zunino(DH, Aquasox)- 3 for 4, 2 HR(3). BA= .457.
Zunino was the Mariners first round(#3 overall) draft pick. They also have one of my pre-draft sleeper, Jamodrick Magruder, hitting leadoff. He's hitting just .229 so far.
Rookie AZL Athletics pounded the Giants 16-7:
Christian Diaz(RF)- 1 for 3, HR(1). BA= .176.
Gabriel Cornier(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .382.
John Polonius(SS)- 1 for 3, BB. BA= .500.
Travious Relaford(2B-3B)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .347.
Tyler Hess(RHP)- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.05.
Ariel Hernandez(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 8.10.
Relaford stays hot. Tyler Hess is a big guy, 6'5", 240 lbs out of Sonoma State. He pitched the last 2 seasons in the Braves organization. His numbers last year weren't that bad with a 4+ ERA.
DSL Giants downed the Phillies 5-1:
Angel Villalona(1B)- 1 for 3, HR(5), BB. BA= .316.
Keury Mella(RHP)- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 1.99.

What do you think of Escobar compared to the other guys in Augusta?
ReplyDeleteEscobar would definitely rank behind Crick, Blackburn and Mejia, but he's still quite young and is doing some interesting things this year.
DeleteI wonder if Escobar would benefit from being effectively wild. He puts up a good BB/9, a good SO/9, but a not-so-hot H/9.
ReplyDeleteI think there is something to be said for that. The Giants historically have had high walk rates but low BABIP's and HR/FB from their pitchers. It's very possible that when you keep the ball on the edges of the strike zone, you induce more soft contact, but the price you pay is more BB's and vice versa.
