Down on the Farm: 7/12/2016

AAA, AA, High A and Rookie AZL were all idle.

*********************************************************************************

Low A  West Virginia Power blanked the Augusta Greenjackets 1-0:

Matt Winn C- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .282.
Michael Connolly RHP- 8 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 2.64.

Connolly did not even make my Honorable Mention list in my pre-season Giants prospect rankings.  He is having a tremendous breakout season for Augusta.

*********************************************************************************

Shor Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes exploded over the Spokane Indians 14-2:

Manuel Geraldo SS- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .248.
Gio Brusa DH- 3 for 6, 2B.  BA= .404.
Gustavo Cabrera LF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .273.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .341.
Zack Bowers C- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .258.
Chase Compton 3B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .208.
Julio Pena RF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(1).  BA= .176.
Matt Krook LHP- 4.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Patrick Ruotolo RHP- 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Brusa seems to be too advanced for this level.  Send him to San Jose!  Gustavo Cabrera seems to be gaining a bit of traction.

DSL  D'Backs2 defeated the Giants 4-1:

Brayan De Pena DH- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .191.
Orleny Quiroz LHP(22 yo)- 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.06.
Jerson Severino RHP(17 yo)- 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K's.  ERA= 6.75.

Despite his advanced age, I think Quiroz might be a prospect as this is apparently his first pro experience and he is 6'3", 180 lbs, big for a lefty.  I also like Severino's size at 6'3", 190 lbs.
