High A  San Jose Giants crushed the Inland Empire 66'ers 11-0:

Seth Harrison(CF)- 3 for 4, 2 2B, HBP.  BA= .297.
Hunter Cole(RF)- 1 for 3, HR(6), 2 BB.  BA= .324.
Austin Slater(2B)- 2 for 4, BB, SB(4).  BA= .297.

Martin Agosta(RHP)- 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 5.53.

Harrison drove in 6 of the Giants 11 runs.  This was Agosta's 3'rd start in a row with at least 8 K's.  In that span he has 25 K's against just 2 BB's in 18 IP.  In other starts, the ERA has not matched up with the K and BB numbers, but this was truly a dominant start.

Low A  Savannah Sand Gnats defeated the Augusta Greenjackets 6-4:

Jeremy Sy(SS)- 1 for 3, 2BB.  BA= .223.
Aramis Garcia(Catcher)- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .224.
Andrew Cain(LF)- 2 for 4, HR(6).  BA= .203.

Despite Aramis Garcia's anemic BA, he has an OBP of .338 with 7 dingers on the season.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Vancouver Canadians 4-3:

Richard Amion(2B)- 1 for 2, 3B, BB, Sac.  BA= .200.
Miguel Gomez(3B)- 2 for 4.  BA= .375.
Julio Pena(DH)- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .500.
Logan Webb(RHP)- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.60.

Amion becomes the latest Giants OF prospect to be tried at 2B.  Gomez is a name to watch.  Remember, he was the switch-hitting catcher who had been in the DSL several years who mlb.com named to the Giants prospect all-star team and Bobby Evans sort of got shamed into saying he would be brought to the states.  Note that he played 3B in this game.  Webb has a successful first start to the season.

DSL  Giants beat the Red Sox 4-2:

Juan Rodriguez(LF, 20 yo)- 3 for 4, 3B.  BA= .403.
Francisco Medina(3B, 17 yo)- 2 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .273.

Shankbone has a short article up about Francisco Medina with a link to some video.  Gotta LOVE the projection in that body!  Be sure to check it out.
