Aramis Garcia, C. DOB: 1/12/1993. B-R, T-R. 6'2", 220 lbs. Drafted 2014 Round 2.
A+: .272/.314/.497, 20 2B, 3B, 17 HR, 4.3 BB%, 21 K%, 347 PA.
AA: .282/.360/.436, 12 2B, 10.1 BB%, 23.6 K%, 89 PA.
Aramis Garcia missed much of the 2016 season after suffering facial fractures in a collision at 2B so was reassigned to San Jose to get more experience at the level. The Giants are usually very conservative with prospects coming off injuries so that was not surprising. He remained healthy for the entire 2017 season and did a lot of really good things. The 17 HR's for SJ showed serious pop in the bat. In a small sample after his promotion to AA Richmond, he was a doubles machine with 12 of his 22 hits going for 2 bags in just 89 PA. The BB and K rates were kind of all over the place so hard to read too much into them. He generally gets positive scouting reports for his work behind the plate. I would guess he returns to AA with the possibility of a midseason promo to Sacramento and an outside chance of an MLB debut, but a lot of bad things would have to happen for that to happen. Giants don't really have a reason to rush him so let him get those PA's in a tough hitting environment.

He should get to Sac sometime this year (age 25), and be poised to be the 2019 B/U jumping past Brown and Sanchez.
