Down on the Farm: 6/23/2017

AAA  Fresno Grizzlies beat the Sacramento River Cats 7-6:

Jarrett Parker LF- 0 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .273.
Ryder Jones 3B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .299.
Chris Shaw DH- 1 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .263.
Jae-Gyun Hwang 1B- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .290.
Michael Roth LHP- 6.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.11.
Derek Law RHP- 0.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 10.80.

-Austin Slater seems to have grabbed the LF job by the throat, so Parker may not have a starting job to come back to.
-Ryder Jones has been solid all season which makes his current extended hot streak all the more impressive.  He's hitting .351 over his last 10 games, .343 for the month of June and .352 since his BA hit a nadir of .264 on May 23.
-Hwang is creeping closer to his opt out date and he's been playing exclusively at 1B, which would not seem to enhance his chances of getting called up to SF.
-The Giants must think Derek Law is healthy as they used him on consecutive days since his demotion, but man, something is not right with him!

AA  Akron Rubber Ducks outscored the Richmond Flying Squirrels 9-6:

Myles Schroder 1B- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .291.
CJ Hinojosa SS- 3 for 4, Sac.  BA= .271.
Jeff Arnold C- 1 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .155.

-CJ Hinojosa made BA's Hot Sheet this week.

High A  Visalia Rawhide whipped the San Jose Giants 6-1:

Aramis Garcia C- 2 for 4.  BA= .278.
Heath Quinn RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .294.
Jake McCasland RHP- 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.23.
Michael Cederoth RHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

-Cederoth continues to look like a great pickup for the Giants.

Low A Hickory Crawdads defeated the Augusta Greenjackets 5-2:

Sandro Fabian RF- 1 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .246.
FDLR 1B- 1 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .248.

Short Season  Eugene Emeralds destroyed the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 15-5:

Malique "5-Tool" Zeigler CF- 2 for 3, HBP, 2 SB(8).  BA= .371.
Manuel Geraldo SS- 3 for 4, 2B, SB(8).  BA= .367.

-Zeigler came out of the game after the HBP.  Hope it's just precautionary.

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

DSL  Blue Jays topped the Giants 4-2:

Andrew Carabello 3B- 0 for 1, 3 BB.  BA= .286.
Marco Gonzalez LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.98.
