Down on the Farm: 8/11/2013

AAA  Fresno Grizzlies cuffed the Iowa Cubs 4-1:

Nick Noonan(2B)- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .283.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 15/2.  ERA= 4.41.

Kickham was a pitch to contact/extreme GB pitcher in this one.  Perhaps working on some assignments Bochy and Rags gave him before his last send-down?  He now has 3 consecutive QS's in a row in which he has allowed just 7 hits in 20.2 IP.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 5-1:

Joe Panik(DH)- 2 for 4.  BA= .266.
Javier Herrera(LF)- 3 for 5, 2 2B, HR(15).  BA= .294.
Adam Duvall(3B)- 2 for 3, 2B, SB(1).  BA= .247.
Jack Snodgrass(LHP)- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 12/3.  ERA= 3.45.
Jose Valdez(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.86.

Panik is hitting .341 over his last 10 games and .301 in his last 30 since the All-Star break.  Looks like keeping the ball on the ground is the theme for the day SP's in the organization.

High A  San Jose Giants outlasted the Bakersfield Blaze 3-2 in 11 innings:

Matt Duffy(SS)- 2 for 5, HR(4), SB(3).  BA= .309.
Ricky Oropesa(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .324.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 8 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.21.
Derek Law(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.45.

Matt Duffy!!

Low A Game 1  Augusta Greenjackets edged the Greensboro Grasshoppers 6-5:

Joey Rapp(1B)- 3 for 4.  BA= .255.
Charles Jones(RF)- 2 for 3, HR(8).  ERA= .230.

Chuckie Jones is hitting .306/.375/.528 over his last 10 games.  He hit .275 in July and is at .308 for August.  Joey Rapp is hitting .378/.465/.541 over his last 10 games. He hit .280 in July.

Low A  Game 2  Greensboro Grasshoppers swarmed the Augusta Greenjackets 7-3:

Joey Rapp(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .259.
Alberto Robles(2B)- 3 for 3, HR(1).  BA= .316.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Everett Aquasox 8-0:

Leonardo Rojas(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .571.
Blake Miller(3B)- 2 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .314.
Andrew Leenhouts(LHP)- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 10/2.  ERA= 2.26.

Rojas is a 2012 draftee who is coming off a 50 game suspension for PED's. He was drafted out of Miami-Dade JC. Hmm....

Rookie AZL  Mariners outlasted the Giants 9-5:

Jonathan Jones(1B)- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .202.
Drew Stiner(C)- 2 for 5.  BA= .450.
Brett Kay(2B)- 1 for 5, 3B, BB.  BA= .247.
Donald Snelton(LHP)- 3.2 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.50.
Rayan Hernandez(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.79.
Luis Pino(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.32.
Nick Jones(LHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.70.

Rayan Hernandez is a jumbo sized kid I am cautiously hopeful about.  He now has 4 consecutive scoreless appearances since his pro debut when he gave up 3 runs in 0.1 IP.

DSL Giants were idle.

  1. I'm really liking that "Hawaiian Lefty" - Really impressed with 2014 Hawaii LHP Kodi Medeiros. Uncommitted, FB 90-93, w/ a silly sweeping slider. Lots of late life there (P/G Twitter).

    Players who actually faced him are giving him mad props on twitter, P/G is re-tweeting them.

    This draft class is looking pretty amazing.

    And then we have reports and counter reports on the Cuban Barry Bonds. We'll see how that pans out. The Giants need to get their hat in the ring on this, bottom line.

    Joe Panik is doing the exact same thing he did last year, struggle, adjust, and then get hot. You comp him to league average, you can see he's holding serve in the Eastern. We need to see gap power though, he has to keep pitchers honest.
