Down on the Farm: 7/20/2015

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the El Paso Chihuahuas 5-4:

Nik Turley(LHP)- 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 4.89.

6 hitless IP for Turley.  He has an ERA of 3.83 over his last 10 starts with 7 QS.  He's a 6'4", 195 lb lefty who is still just 25 years old.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels beat the Akron Rubber Ducks 4-3:

Rando Moreno(SS)- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .289.
Hunter Cole(RF)- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .278.
Tyler Beede(RHP)- 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO- 8/5.  ERA= 3.95.

Beede also hit 2 batters and was charged with a WP.

High A  San Jose Giants outlasted the Lancaster Jethawks 5-4 in 11 innings:

Angel Villalona(1B)- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .289.
Brian Ragira(DH)- 2 for 5, HR(8).  BA= .243.
Ty Ross(Catcher)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .224.
Tyler Rogers(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.66.
Christian Jones(LHP)- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.95.
Jake Smith(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.71.

Villalona has 11 BB against 15 K's in 83 AB since moving down to SJ.  I wonder if Christian Jones will get  a chance to start at some point?

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets downed the Hickory Crawdads 3-1:

Johneshwy Fargas(CF)- 0 for 4.  BA= .274.
Aramis Garcia(Catcher)- 1 for 4, HR(14).  BA= .268.
Jonah Arenado(3B)- 2 for 4.  BA= .265.
Sam Coonrod(RHP)- 8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K's, GO/AO= 12/3.  ERA= 2.45.
Carlos Diaz(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(2).  ERA= 2.06.

Fargas is in a brutal slump.  0 for his last 10, 2 for his last 24, .167 BA over his last 10 games.  Same Coonrod has 8 QS over his last 10 starts and pitched 5.2 shutout innings in one other game.  He has a 1.39 ERA over that span.  Probably needs to be challenged at a higher level.  Giants may be gun-shy about a promotion from Augusta to SJ after their experience with Jose Reyes.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes outscored the Tri-City Dust Devils 8-5:

Steven Duggar(CF)- 3 for 5, 3B.  BA= .271.
Chris Shaw(1B)- 2 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .274.
CJ Hinojosa(SS)- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .261.
Shilo McCall(LF)- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(4).  BA= .283.
Logan Webb(RHP)- 1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 3.12.
Mac Marshall(LHP)- 3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 3.12.
Ryan Halstead(RHP)- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.31.

Maybe Shilo McCall is finally finding some traction?  He is hitting .333 with 3 dingers over his last 10 games.

Rookie AZL  Giants were idle.

DSL  Giants pounded the Orioles2 10-4:

Jose Rivero(SS, 17 yo)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .202.

  1. DrB, do you think that either Cole or Carbonell have much of a chance at making the big league club? If so, regardless of timeline, who do you think might have the best chance of sticking?

    Thanks. Alan

    1. Both Cole and Carbonell are long shots for a significant MLB career. Cole has a better chance just because he is way more developed as a player. Carbonell has a high ceiling but a frightfully high risk of being a complete bust.

  2. Any word on what is going on with Gustavo Cabrera?

    I was wondering what your thoughts on Joan Gregorio are? I always thought he was a really intriguing prospect, but was a little surprised to see him used mainly as a reliever.

    Oh, and I LOVE this blog!

    1. Thank you. We've addressed the Gustavo Cabrera situation a couple of times. I have not seen anything on him. He came out of something like the second game of the season immediately after running out a triple, so I assume it's a pretty bad hammy.

    2. As for Gregorio, he was struggling as a starter so the Giants moved him to the bullpen where he has been better. Still has a very high ceiling either as a start or reliever.
