Down on the Farm: 6/16/2018

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

Ryder Jones 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .289.
Orlando Calixte SS- 2 for 4, HR(9).  BA= .276.
Tyler Rogers RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.57.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.61.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels beat the Harrisburg Senators 5-1:

Luigi Rodriguez RF- 2 for 5, HR(5).  BA= .367.
Miguel Gomez 2B- 1 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .293.
CJ Hinojosa SS- 1 for 4, BB, SB(1).  BA= .267.
Conner Menez LHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Dillon McNamara RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.88.
Caleb Simpson RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.82.

Luigi!  Conner Menez had a successful AA debut.  He had previously made 2 appearances for Sacramento River Cats.  I believe this is an official promotion and not just a spot start. He had 70 K's and 21 BB in 50 IP for San Jose prior to this promotion.

A+  Visalia Rawhide whipped the San Jose Giants 8-0:

Johneshwy Fargas LF- 2 for 3, SB(17).  BA= .265.
Mac Marshall LHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.25.
Peter Lannoo RHP- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.42.

This was Mac Marshall's first appearance since 5/14/2018.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets outscored the Asheville Tourists 7-6:

Heliot Ramos CF- 4 for 5, 2B, SB(3).  BA= .243.
Orlando Garcia 2B- 2 for 5.  BA= .242.
Jacob Gonzalez 3B- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .258.
Ryan Kirby 1B- 1 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .230.
Shane Matheny 3B- 1 for 3, HR(3), BB.  BA= .221.
Caleb Baragar LHP- 3.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 6.97.
Frank Rubio RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(10).  ERA= 1.55.

Strong games for last year's top 2 draft picks, Ramos and Gonzalez.  Heliot Ramos has a 5 game hit streak.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Tri-City Dust Devils 9-8:

Kyle McPherson SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .500.
Trevor Abrams 3B- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .375.
Diego Rincones LF- 3 for 4.  BA= .750.
Gregory Santos RHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.50.
Norwith Gudino RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 7.20.

In case you are wondering who Trevor Abrams is, he's listed as 6'4", 215 lbs. Signed as an undrafted FA last year out of Sonoma St.  He played 2 seasons in 2014 and 2015 for St Mary's then sat out 2016 before playing 2017 for Sonoma St.  He hit .293 for Sonoma St.  He also hit very well in collegiate summer leagues for the Santa Barbara Foresters and SD Force.  He could be a deep sleeper prospect with size to have some upside.

Richgelon Juliana CF- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(3).  BA= .229.

  1. Rodolfo Bone is a grade 80 name. I hope he makes it to the MLB just for that.

    Menez made the Cal league all star team. Bummer they promoted him a couple days before it.

  2. This just popped up on Twitter: The #SFGiants drafted 2018 ACC Player of the Year Joey Bart No. 2 overall & signed him for $7,025,000, per @jimcallisMLB, the largest up-front bonus for a position player in #MLBDraft history. @sfgiantsbeat on the deal for the @SFGiants' future catcher: https://www.mlb.com/news/giants-sign-no-2-overall-draft-pick-joey-bart/c-281673158?tid=151437456


    I was getting worried.

    1. No worries. Giants have signed their top 16 picks, 23 of their top 25 and 32 overall. Highest pick yet unsigned: Ryan Olenek. Kiley McDaniel of Fangraphs doesn't think he's going to.
