Down on the Farm: 5/25/2017

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Memphis Redbirds 5-3:

Kelby Tomlinson CF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .276.
Orlando Calixte SS- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .270.
Jae-Gyun Hwang 1B- 3 for 4, 2B, 3B.  BA= .291.
Chris Shaw LF- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Juniel Querecuto 2B- 2 for 3, SB(3).  BA= .261.
Michael Roth LHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.14.
Kyle Crick RHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, Save(5).  ERA= 3.20.

Kelby keeps after it in CF.  How valuable is a guy who can play SS, 2B and CF on an MLB bench?  It seems like the Giants are going to have to find out what Hwang can do at the MLB level at some point.  Roth's ERA is 2.66 over his last 4 Starts.

AA  Binghampton Rumble Ponies downed the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-3:

Myles Schroder SS- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .333.
Slade Heathcott CF- 1 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .286.
CJ Hinojosa 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .255.

High A  San Jose Giants topped the Lancaster Jethawks 4-2:

Heath Quinn RF- 1 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .350.
Gio Brusa LF- 2 for 4.  BA= .242.
Jonah Arenado 3B- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(2).  BA= .236.
TJ Bennett 2B- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .150.
Matt Krook LHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 13/3.  ERA= 7.45.
Carlos Diaz LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.30.
Ryan Halstead RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(7).  ERA= 0.81.

Arenado has raised his BA from .197 to .236 over his last 6 games in which he has gone 11 for 26 with 5 2B and last night's HR.  Matt Krook pitching to contact and getting results.  Is this a breakthrough game for him?

Low A  Rome Braves outlasted the Augusta Greenjackets 6-2 in 10 innings:

Jacob Heyward LF- 1 for 3, HR(6), BB.  BA= .224.
Melvin Adon RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.98.
Nolan Riggs RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.22.

  1. Has anyone heard anything about Duggar's hip flexor injury? He's been on the 7-day disabled list all season.

  2. Perhaps the Giants are playing their aging veterans with a purpose: maybe one (or two?) of them -- Hill, Hundley, Gillaspie, or Morse (or even Ruggiano or Hernandez but it's probably too late for them and Stubbs and Blanks who don't have any value) -- will catch the wind and be worth something to trade in July for a young and unproven prospect with a little upside.
    The fact that they all are dead in the water is the reason that SF is also.

  3. Orlando Calixte has been playing OF, too, beginning in 2015, more in 2016, and continues in Sacramento. With 100 career games in the OF, he is still learning, having a half dozen errors.
    Also he is quietly bringing his BA up, 12-36 with 3 HRs in last 10.
    Giants are serious about a CFer!
