Down on the Farm: 4/21/2016

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Las Vegas 51's 3-1:

Gorkys Hernandez CF- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .211.
Albert(Not Andrew) Suarez RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.46.
Duke Welker RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Albert Suarez is the dude who hung around major league camp in spring training getting lit up pretty much every time he went out to the mound.  Maybe the Giants saw something and got him straightened out?

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Altoona Curve 5-1:

Rando Moreno SS- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .383.
Christian Arroyo 3B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .293.
Chase Johnson RHP- 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 12/1.  ERA= 4.05.
Christian Jones LHP- 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 8.10.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 7.94.

Arroyo getting some reps at 3B.  Not many K's for Chase Johnson, but dominant GB tendency.

High A  San Jose Giants cracked the Modesto Nuts 5-2:

Chris Shaw 1B- 1 for 3, 2B, SF.  BA= .302.
Steven Duggar RF- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .364.

Andrew Suarez LHP- 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 9 K's, GO/AO= 8/3.  ERA= 3.38.

Andrew Suarez is the guy the Giants drafted in the second round out of Miami last year who we think will be a fast mover in the system.   Dominant start here.
