Down on the Farm: 8/25/2016

AAA  Sacramento River Cats outscored the Fresno Grizzlies 12-10:

Mac Williamson LF- 2 for 5, HR(10), HBP.  BA= .273.
Austin Slater CF- 2 for 4, HR(12), BB.  BA= .299.
Travis Ishikawa DH- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .260.
Ruben Tejada SS- 2 for 5.  BA= .269.
Tony Sanchez C- 2 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .258.
Joan Gregorio RHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.51.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Akron Rubber Ducks 7-4:

Christian Arroyo 3B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .273.
CJ Hinojosa SS- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .245.
Tyler Horan LF- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(10).  BA= .250.
Brandon Bednar 2B- 2 for 3, HBP.  BA= .293.
Jeff Arnold C- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .229.
Matt Gage LHP- 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.56.
Joe Nathan RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(2).  ERA= 0.00.

Arroyo's bat showing some signs of life as the season winds down.  Think we'll see Joe Nathan in September?

High A  Bakersfield Blaze scorched the San Jose Giants 13-6:

Rando Moreno SS- 4 for 4.  BA= .236.
Dylan Davis LF- 1 for 5, HR(18).  BA= .304.
Miguel Gomez 3B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .241.
TJ Bennett 2B- 1 for 2, HR(9), 2 BB.  BA= .317.
Daniel Carbonell RF- 1 for 3, HR(3), BB.  BA= .291.

I'm starting to think Bennett may be a legit prospect.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Greenville Drive 7-1:

Bryan Reynolds CF- 4 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .423.
Skyler Ewing 1B- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .245.
Junior Arias DH- 1 for 3, HR(10), BB.  BA= .271.
John Polonius 3B- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .212.
Jake McCasland RHP- 7 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 1.57.

Breakout season for McCasland.  Can he replicate it at higher levels?  Not sure if moving Reynolds from S-K to Augusta was a promotion or a lateral transfer or a downgrade in competition, but he's having no problem with SAL pitching!  I'm thinking we're not going to see him in the Cal League for very long next year, if at all.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes were idle.

Rookie AZL Giants pounded the Padres 12-7:

Brandon Van Horn SS- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .242.
Sandro Fabian RF- 2 for 5, SB(3).  BA= .329.
Jose Layer LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .289.
Kelvin Beltre 3B- 3 for 5, 2B, 3B.  BA= .294.
Nick Deeg LHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.12.

Can we please have an injury-free season for Beltre next year?  Can't wait to see what Fabian does next year.  Jose Layer may be a sleeper pick from this year's draft.  He's off to an encouraging start.
