Down on the Farm: 6/28/2015

AAA  Las Vegas 51's edged out the Sacramento River Cats 4-3:

Kevin Frandsen(3B)- 2 for 5.  BA= .298.
Ryan Lollis(1B)- 3 for 4, HR(2), BB.  BA= .337.
Chris Stratton(RHP)- 8 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's, GO/AO= 10/5.  ERA= 1.65.

Free Ryan Lollis!  Sup with Chris Stratton?  This may have been his best start as a professional.  Is it possible that he's been "working on stuff" all this time and just now doing whatever he needs to get hitters out?

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels vs New Britain Rock Cats postponed due to wet grounds.

High A  Modesto Nuts topped the San Jose Giants 9-4:

Seth Harrison(CF)- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(6).  BA= .285.
Brian Ragira(DH-LF)- 1 for 3, HR(5), BB.  BA= .210.
Brandon Bednar(2B-SS)- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .227.
Jose Reyes(RHP)- 3.2 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 11.65.
Martin Agosta(RHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.34.

Jose Reyes promotion to San Jose just hasn't gone well.  Agosta comes out of the bullpen, maybe due to disruption of rotation by all-star break or maybe they want to limit his innings this year?

Low A  Rome Braves defeated the Augusta Greenjackets 6-4:

Johneshwy Fargas(CF)- 1 for 2, BB, 2 HBP, 2 SB(33).  BA= .298.
Jeremy Sy(SS)- 2 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .242.
Matt Gage(LHP)- 5.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K's.   ERA= 5.03.
Carlos Diaz(LHP)- 2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.30.
Touki Toussaint(RHP, Braves)- 4.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.08.

Fargas continues to fill up the boxscores for Augusta.  Those are some Crickian numbers for Touki.  It's going to be interesting to follow how his and Tyler Beede's pro careers play out.

Short Season  Spokane Indians blanked the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 8-0:

Jarret Leverett(RHP)- 3.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.42.
Ryan Halstead(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Leverett looks like an undrafted FA sign.  Halstead was the Giants 21'st round selection this year.  He's a closer out of Indiana U with big K numbers.

Rookie AZL  Giants pounded the Cubs 11-6:

Jalen Miller(SS)- 2 for 5.  BA= .353.
Dillon Dobson(2B)- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B.  BA= .222.
Matt Winn(Catcher)- 1 for 4, HR(1), BB.  BA= .250.

Stetson Woods(RHP)- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.17.
Tyler Cyr(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Dobson is a 23'rd round selection out of Appalachian St.  Winn is a 14'th round draft pick out of  VMI. Tyler Cyr is the Giants 10'th round pick out of an NAIA school.
