Trent Toplikar RHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.70.

If Jose Layer can stay healthy for the rest of the season, I believe he will move WAY up in my Giants prospect rankings.  I really like his athleticism and it sure looks like he can hit.  Joey Bart brought the fireworks to Salem-Keizer with 2 dingers in his first game on being promoted from Rookie ball.  Woo! Hoo!!.
