Down on the Farm: 7/20/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats doubled up the Tacoma Rainiers 8-4:

Mike Gerber CF- 2 for 3, HR(20), SB(4).  BA= .316.

Travis Bergen LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 6.00.

Dillon McNamara, Sam Coonrod and Jandel Gustave also pitched 1 scoreless inning each.  Travis Bergen is apparently able to continue pitching a rehab assignment despite being moved to the 60 day IL on July 18.  He originally went on the IL May 21 and has started and stopped several rehab assignments since.

A  Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Greensboro Grasshoppers 8-1:

Anyesber Sivira SS- 3 for 4, HR(2), BB.  BA= .275.
Diego Rincones DH- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .304.
Shane Matheny 2B- 2 for 4, SF.  BA= .221.

Sandro Cabrera LHP- 2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 2.08.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes outslugged the Boise Hawks 15-12(10 innings):

Sean Roby 3B- 3 for 5, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .336.
Franklin Labour RF- 3 for 6, 2B, HR(14), Assist(3B).  BA= .338.
Logan Wyatt 1B- 2 for 5, BB.  BA= .455.
Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 2 for 5, 2 2B, BB.   BA= .350.
Alexander Canario CF- 2 for 4, BB, SF.  BA= .230.
Armani Smith LF- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(1), BB.  BA= .351.
Matt Martorano C- 2 for 5, HR(1), BB.  BA= .310.
Harrison Freed DH- 2 for 5, 2B, BB.  BA= .206.

Nice game for padding the ol' stat line.  NWL has been an extreme hitter's league for the past several years so interpret results with caution.  Good to see several 2019 draft picks hitting well over .300, though. After a slow start, Alexander Canario is hitting .316 over his past 10 games at age 19.

Rookie AZL  Giants Orange edged out the Dodgers Lasorda 2-1:

Marco Luciano SS- 2 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .344.
Najee Gaskins RF- 1 for 1, BB, HBP.  BA= .367.
Juan Sanchez LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.99.
Kanoa Pagan RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.50.
Jorge Labrador RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.49.

Not much more to say about Marco Luciano.  Do you give him a preview of higher level pitching for the month of August or do you leave him in Arizona as a confidence builder?  Juan Sanchez was part of a group of exciting 17 yo DSL pitchers last year.  After a rough start in Arizona, he seems to be finding his footing allowing 4 ER in 14.1 IP over his past 3 starts with 13 K's and 3 BB's.

Rookie AZL  Giants Black defeated the Cubs1 12-9:

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 5, BB.  BA= .233.
Jairo Pomares RF- 4 for 6, 2 2B, HR(3).  BA= .413.
Garrett Frechette 1B- 2 for 5, BB.  BA= .315.
Dilan Rosario SS- 1 for 5, HR(5), SF.  BA= .257.
Jean Pena 3B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .221.

After a slow start, Grant McCray is hitting .293 over his last 10 games.  Giants should also consider an August promotion for Jairo Pomares to give him a preview of higher level pitching for next season.  He is destroying the AZL.

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

DSL  Giants beat Colorado 6-3:

Victor Bericoto LF(17 yo)- 3 for 4.  BA= .345.
Rayner Flores 1B(17 yo)- 2 for 4.  BA= .325.
Eduardo Jaramillo C(17 yo)- 2 for 4.  BA= .238.
Jorge Garcia RHP(17 yo)- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.28.

  1. Interesting problem and so unusual for SF: too many good young OFers in the lower system!
    Richmond has space and could use an infusion: starting with AZL, move a couple up to S-K, and S-K -> Augusta, Augusta -> SJ, SJ to Richmond who could use some help.

  2. Thanks for your great work reporting on the minor leagues, Doc. It's actually fun again to follow our prospects! Interesting question you pose. To look at it another way, would moving Luciano (and Pomares for that matter) up be a confidence killer if they meet adversity? I would think it would not- I recall reading an interview with Luciano where he stated his greatest strength is that "he works hard." I don't recall where it was published but it is an indication that if moving up to a higher level reveals any holes in his game, he will work hard to correct them. I say the Giants should move up any prospects that they feel would benefit from a higher level,even if it seems aggressive.

  3. Ryder Jones DFA'd.
    Wonder if FZ would sign him if he clears waivers.
    Probably not.
    Holland gone, too, wow, and BB was signing his praises last week...

    1. Why Blach > Holland? I don't understand this. Holland has swing and miss stuff.

  4. Salem is stacked with hitters - EXC results from draft class - even Wyatt and Fitz raking.

  5. I read it reported that Green will be getting a call up.

  6. Seems that they're putting all their eggs in the Menez basket. If he works out, then Pomeranz can go to long relief. If not Pomeranz goes back to the rotation and either D Rod or Blach is long relief. I like this move, personally. Also, i think it's a sign that they're not moving Bum.
