Down on the Farm: 7/29/2017

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the New Orleans Baby Cakes 4-3:

Jarrett Parker CF/RF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .236.
Ryder Jones RF/SS- 3 for 4, 2 HR(13).  BA= .313.
Pablo Sandoval 3B- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .235.
Casey Kelly RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.57.
Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(5).  ERA= 4.08.

-Ryder Jones is showing he is ready for another crack at an MLB gig.
-Giants sign Casey Kelly to a minor league FA contract and start him the same day.  He was once a top ranked pitching prospect who has been oft traded and injured.  Not sure what he has left in the tank.  He was released by the Cubs about 10 days ago.

Aaron Phillips RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.97.

-Who is Logan Baldwin?  21's round draft pick out of Georgia Southern.  B-L, T-L.  6'0", 180 lbs.  Hit .308 with 4 HR and 13 SB in college this year.  Off to a great start to his pro career but ceiling appears to be limited.

  1. As I'm sure you know Baldwin has some pretty spectacular defensive plays in center on YouTube.

    Any insight on Weilly Yan? He appears a bit old for the AZL, but his numbers look spectacular so far.

  2. One more thing. I listened to Rizzo's play by play of the Little giants last night. Shaun Anderson's night was way more impressive than his box score would have you believe. He should have only been charged 1 earned run as Arenado made an error that was scored as a hit.

    1. Yeah, there was a note in the Comments on Grant's Game Wrap on McC that Anderson retired 10 of the first 11 batters he faced and had 2 potential GIDP's booted in the 4'th inning.

  3. Kelly looks like a pure depth move to get the Giants through the season. Beede replacement.

  4. Is there anything good to say about Casey Kelly?
    He would need a spot on the 40-man roster -- not that everyone on it is worthy, but aren't there about a dozen guys ahead of him?
