Down on the Farm: 6/19/2016

AAA  El Paso Chihuahuas defeated the Sacramento River Cats 7-1:

Ryan Lollis CF- 1 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .259.
Joan Gregorio RHP- 1.2 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 4 K's, 3 HR's.  ERA= 6.54.
Jake Dunning RHP- 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.22.
Duke Welker RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.03.
Jean Machi RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.73.

The longball made this a rough appearance for Gregorio.  Glad to see the Giants giving Jean Machi a chance after he hit rock bottom.

AA  Portland Sea Dogs beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 9-5:

Ryder Jones 3B- 1 for 3, HR(8), BB.  BA= .252.
Hunter Cole RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Carlos Moncrief DH- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .244.
Andrew Suarez LHP- 4.2 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.95.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.35.
Tyler Rogers RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

I'm impressed with how well Ryder Jones is hanging with the EL.  Ray Black has 5 consecutive scoreless appearances with 11 K's and 1 BB in 4.1 IP.  Rogers runs his scoreless streak to 32 IP.

High A  San Jose Giants topped the Ranch Cucamonga Quakes 5-3:

Jonah Arenado 3B- 1 for 4, HR(7).  BA= .263.
Chris Shaw 1B- 2 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .284.
Ty Ross C- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .236.
Phil Bickford RHP- 6 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 13 K's.  ERA= 3.00.
Sergio Romo RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(20).   ERA= 0.91.

You read that right, 13 K's for Bickford in his High A debut.  Yes!  Speaking of hanging, I'm also impressed with what Jonah Arenado has done so far with SJ.

Low A  Lexington Legends edged out the Augusta Greenjackets 2-1:

Lucius Fox SS- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .210.
Dylan Davis RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .285.
Jake McCasland RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.31.
Ryan Koziol RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.45.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Hillsboro Hops 11-2:

Zach Bowers C- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .364.
Jean Angomas LF- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .444.
Ashford Fulmer RF- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .500.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .500.
Raffi Vizcaino RHP- 3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.00.
Cesar Yanez RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Yanez is 21 yo and 6'5".  He pitched sparingly for Rookie AZL the last two seasons.  His big issue is more walks than K's.  If he can get those under control, I'm guessing he may be a serious prospect.
