Down on the Farm: 8/27/2016

AAA  Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento River Cats 6-2:

Mac Williamson LF- 1 for 4, HR(11).  BA= .273.
Matt Cain RHP- 5 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.06.
Alex Torres LHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.   ERA= 4.42.

I am sure the Giants will give Matt Cain every chance to re-establish himself in the starting rotation and he certainly deserves that, but there was nothing encouraging about this rehab start.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels soared over the Akron Rubber Ducks 13-3:

Steven Duggar CF- 1 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .315.
Christian Arroyo 3B- 2 for 5, HR(3).  BA= .274.
Tyler Horan DH- 1 for 4, 3B, BB.  BA= .250.
Nestor Molina RHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.18.
Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 7.29.
Joe Nathan RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Hard to believe Arroyo has just 3 HR's this season.  Not too worried about that given his age and the environment.

High A  San Jose Giants outscored the Visalia Rawhide 7-4"

Rando Moreno SS- 2 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .258.
Robbie Garvey LF- 2 for 3, BB, Sac, SB(9).  BA= .267.
Dylan Davis RF- 2 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .306.
Jonah Arenado 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .263.
Mark Reyes LHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.97.
Hengerber Medina RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.86.
Reyes Maronta RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, Save(14).  ERA= 2.57.

Why do I get a jolt every time I see the name Garvey in the SJ lineup?  I don't think Robbie is related to THAT Garvey!

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Rome Braves 7-2:

Johneshwy Fargas CF- 2 for 5.  BA= .279.
Bryan Reynolds DH- 3 for 5.  BA= .455.
Jean Angomas LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .253.
Raffi Vizcaino RHP- 7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 2.57.
Ryan Halstead RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.98.

I think this was Vizcaino's first start for Augusta after spending most of the summer in Salem-Keizer.  Angomas has had a strong second half.  Breakout candidate for next year.

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

Short Season  Eugene Emeralds topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 14-9:

Manuel Geraldo 3B- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .291.
Ryan Howard SS- 2 for 5.  BA= .266.
Gio Brusa DH- 2 for 5, HR(9).  BA= .262.
Heath Quinn RF- 1 for 2, HR(8), 2 BB, SF.  BA= .333.
Ashford Fulmer LF- 3 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .308.
John Riley C- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .279.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .315.

Several players to watch for next year here.  Quinn, of course, but Rivera and Geraldo are emerging IF prospects and Fulmer is working his way into sleeper territory.

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

Rookie AZL  Giants downed the Dodgers 6-3:

Mikey Edie CF- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .225.
Sandro Fabian RF- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .342.
Jose Layer LF- 1 for 2, 2B, BB, Sac.  BA= .280.
MIchael Bernal 2B- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(4).  BA= .264.
Caleb Baragar LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.28.
Cameron Avila-Leeper LHP= 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Julio Benitez RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(3).  ERA= 3.79.

Speaking of next year…..Can't wait to see what Fabian does next season!  Jose Layer may be a sleeper pick out of the PR HS system.

    1. I think Heyward had some sort of injury that kept him out of the lineup for awhile. He's back now.
