Miguel Gomez 3B- 3 for 4.  BA= .343.
Dominic Mazza LHP- 6 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.23.

Short Season  Hillsboro Hops topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 6-5:

Manuel Geraldo SS- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .400.
Zach Bowers C- 3 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .750.
Juan Rodriguez CF- 1 for 4, 3B.  BA= .250.
Gustavo Cabrera LF- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .500.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .500.
Victor Concepcion RHP- 6 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 7.50.
Caleb Simpson RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Some of my favorite prospects here.  Geraldo skipped over the AZL after 2 seasons in the DSL.  He struggled early there and now surfaces in Salem-Keizer.  Love his size, switch-hitting and positional versatility.  Zach Bowers signed out of HS last year.  He may be a sleeper catcher in the system.  We all know about Gustavo.  Victor Concepcion skips over the AZL after 2 seasons in the DSL.  A bit of a mixed bag in his stateside debut.  Caleb Simpson is a 6'3", 220 lbs RHP drafted out of JC ball in 2013. He made a few appearances in the AZL that year and has no record since then.  I was not able to find any information on what he's been doing in the meantime except a note that the Giants signed him in June of this year.

DSL  Cubs2 beat the Giants 9-6:

Diego Rincones RF(17 yo)- 1 for 1, BB.  BA= .361.
Ricardo Genoves 1B(17 yo)- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .343.
Brayan De Pena(DH)- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .150.

My favorite prospect in the entire system, at least by name, Hengerber Medina, gets the start today for Salem-Keizer.

  1. I thought Gustavo Cabrera was at Augusta? Did he suffer a setback or injury?

    1. I think Gustavo has had a couple of minor injuries during his time in Augusta. It's not unusual for the Giants to transfer some of their Augusta players to Salem-Keizer once the summer leagues start. The Augusta roster was quite full and players were having to juggle playing time.
