Down on the Farm: 7/3/2016

AAA  Albuquerque Isotopes burned the Sacramento River Cats 5-1:

Andrew Susac C- 2 for 4.  BA= .236.
Chris Stratton RHP- 3.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 4/1.  ERA= 5.79.

Stratton relieved Vin Mazzaro.  He has to get stretched out after pitching 1 inning here and there for a month in SF.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels quieted the Trenton Thunder 6-3:

Chris Shaw 1B- 2 for 4, 2B, 3B.  BA= .389.
Carlos Moncrief DH- 3 for 4, 2 2B, 2 SB(4).  BA= .264.
Dan Slania RHP- 7.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.02.

Shaw doesn't seem to be having trouble with AA pitching so far.

High A  Visalia Rawhide whipped the San Jose Giants 4-3:

Dylan Davis RF- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .412.
TJ Bennett 2B- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .280.
Jose Reyes RHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.28.
Pat Young RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.65.

In 3 starts since moving into the SJ rotation, Reyes has allowed 5 ER in 16 IP with 10 K's and 3 BB's. He's a hard thrower/sleeper in the system.

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

Low A  Charleston River Dogs outscored the Augusta Greenjackets 9-4:

Miguel Gomez 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .370.
Junior Arias 1B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .313.

Gomez moves back to 3B which leads me to think his one game at 2B was more for need/versatility than trying to find him a position.

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

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes blanked the Eugene Emeralds 3-0:

Gio Brusa LF- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .350.
Heath Quinn RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .276.
Ryan Kirby 1B- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .313.
Hengerber Medina RHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.21.

That's more like it from my man, Hengerber!  Gio Brusa is off to a hot start to his pro career.  Bryan Reynolds got his first pro hit in a 1 for 4 game.

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

Rookie AZL  White Sox crushed the Giants 12-1:

Sandro Fabian RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .316.
Cody Brickhouse C- 3 for 4.  BA= .267.

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

DSL  Giants were idle.

  1. Tyler Rogers was promoted to Sacramento a few days ago. Pitched an inning in relief of Blackburn, gave up a hit in 1 IP, no K's
    (did you report that and I missed it? -- sorry if so)

  2. The Dodgers out-righted their $30 million Cuban pitcher -- Yaisel Sierra. Nobody has picked him up (so far). I'm guessing there aren't many teams that want to pay $30 million for a guy who, through 49 innings, has posted a 7.14 ERA at Single-A.

    Meanwhile our two highest-ranked (MLB) pitching prospects -- Beede & Bickford -- are doing pretty well. And neither costs $30 million. [smirk]
