Down on the Farm: 6/25/2013

AAA Tacoma Rainiers beat the Fresno Grizzies 1-0 in a rare low-scoring PCL game:

Austin Fleet(RHP)- 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 3.81.
Brett Bochy(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.12.
Heath Hembree(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.40.
Taijuan Walker(RHP, Rainiers)- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00

Taijuan Walker makes his AAA debut.  He's from my area, Yucaipa HS, and John Klima really liked him coming out of HS.

AA  Game 1  Bowie Baysox blanked the Richmond Fying Squirrels 1-0 in a typically low-scoring EL game:

Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 1 for 3, SB(9).  BA= .236.
Brett Krill(LF)- 2 for 3.  BA= .295.
Chris Gloor(LHP)- 6.1 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.46.

AA Game 2  Richmond Flying Squirrels edged the Bowie BaySox 7-6:

Joe Panik(2B)- 1 for 2, 2 BB, SB(8).  BA= .260.
Ryan Lollis(CF)- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .276.
Mark Minicozzi(3B)- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .335.
Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 0 for 2, BB, SB(10).  BA= .234.
Phil McCormick(LHP)- 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.88.

High A  San Jose Giants avoided getting no-hit by the Modesto Nuts, but lost anyway, 6-2:

Jose Casilla(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.18.
Cody Hall(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.42.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Eugene Emeralds 9-2:

Tyler Hollick(CF)- 1 for 4, BB, SB(6).  BA= .408.
Brandon Bednar(SS)- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .300.
Shilo McCall(LF)- 2 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .262.
Andrew Leenhouts(LHP)- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.42.
Chris Marlowe(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Chris Fern(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 18.00.
Armando Paniagua(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Shilo McCall is an example of a prospect who is completely under the radar in a lot of prospect watching sites, but who seems to be off to a solid start to his professional career.

Rookie AZL  Giants crushed the Cubs 14-4:

Kelby Tomlinson(SS)- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .263.
Tyler Horan(LF)- 1 for 1, 3 BB, SB(1), Assist(2B). BA= .294.
Leonardo Fuentes(RF)- 1 for 3, HR(2), BB.  BA= .500.
Craig Massoni(1B)- 2 for 4.  BA= .455.
Fernando Pujadas(C)- 2 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .412.
Luis Ysla(LHP)- 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.38.

Horan shows off his tools.  Please, please let Leo Fuentes be for real!!  Got nothing on Ysla.

DSL  Giants topped the Padres 4-1:

Gustavo Cabrera(CF)- 0 for 3, 2 BB, 2 SB(9).  BA= .181.
Nathanael Javier(3B)- 1 for 3, BB, SB(1).  BA= .216.
Royel Astacio(1B)- 4 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .196.
Hengerber Medina(SS)- 0 for 3, 2 BB, 2 SB(6).  BA= .143.
Eusebio Encarnacion(RHP, 18 yo)- 5.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.93.
Jose Morel(RHP, 19 yo)- 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.59.

  1. Mariners have some good pitching in the minors. Walker is probably the best. I have seen Krill's name in the highlights recently. Is he someone who could help the big club in a few years?

  2. Take away one bad outing and AUSTUN FLEET has pitched real well in Fresno, something like 27IP, barely over a 1.00 WHIP and an ERA about 2.50....Also, what did everybody think about draftee NICK VannDer Tugg in the College World Series..Not amazing stuff, but the kid knows how to pitch and is a competitor..Hoep they sign him...

  3. Watched a bit of the Fresno game online. Walker is as good as advertised. Regarding Vander Tuig, I was very impressed. Shuts down Hunter Renfroe in the biggest game of his career. 8 strong to clinch te title, and quite the college pedigree. Could be a sleeper!

    1. Pac 10 pitchers have a nice track record of success in the major, even if they don't have premium stuff. They compete at a very high level in college ball and seem to take that savvy to the pros. Of course, they don't all make it, but there have been successes: Mike Leake, Ian Kennedy, Tommy Milone are 3 who come immediately to mind.

    2. Here's another pretty good Pac 10 pitcher who has had some pretty good successes: Tim Lincecum. :^)

      And who was that guy for the D-backs who throws like Lincecum, but got traded over the off-season? I think he was UCLA too.
