Down on the Farm: 6/1/2022

 AAA:  Las Vegas Aviators downed the Sacramento River Cats 4-2.

Bryce Johnson CF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .323.
Kevin Padlo 3B- 2 for 4, SB(7).  BA= .236.
Joey Marciano LHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.95.
Tristan Beck RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K's, GO/AO= 8.20.

Marciano was used as an Opener with Beck being the bulk innings guy.  Worked out better for Beck than for Marciano.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels vs Akron Rubber Ducks PPD(seems like the Squirrels have played the Ducks every other series all season long).

A+:  Eugene Emeralds defeated the Everett Aquasox 8-2.

Hunter Bishop CF- 1 for 4, 2B, HBP, SB(11).  BA= .201.
Marco Luciano DH- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .298.
Jairo Pomares LF- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .208.
Carter Aldrete 3B- 1 for 3, HR(8), 2 BB.  BA= .238.
Randy Rodriguez RHP- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 10 K.   ERA= 3.38.

Hunter Bishop showed flashes of his ceiling in May after a disastrous April but was still plagued by inconsistency:  .238/.315/.333.  Marco Luciano breaks out of a mini-slump.

A:  San Jose Giants outscored the Stockton Ports 7-4.

Riley Mahan 2B- 2 for 4, 3B, HR(1).  BA= .355.

Seth Lonsway LHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 3.97.

More of the same from Bednar, 57 pitches in 3 IP.

  1. Vaun Brown continues to kill it in San Jose winning California League Player of the Week for the second time. He leads the team in just about all offensive categories and a few league highs.
    See https://www.milb.com/san-jose/news/vaun-brown-earns-second-player-of-the-week-honors
    He's very old for low A ball, turning 24 this month (DOB: 06/23/1998), 15 months older than Heliot Ramos (DON 9/7/1999). Because of the pandemic he played 5 years of Division II college ball.
    It seems the Giants could (should?) move him up and test him.

  2. Glad to hear you and your wife had a great trip. While the farm has players off to good starts like Luciano and Kyle Harrison, and slow starts like Bedner and Bishop, it's fast rising under the radar players that a recent Pav's article mentioned that makes me think the system is coming around: David Villar 3rd base-Kap had some nice things to say about him. Mason Black-2nd round pick might become their top RHP prospect if he continues to pitch well. Casey Schmitt 3rd base scouts are very impressed with his D, and he's hitting well in Eugene. Grant McCray and Vaun Brown of, Pat Burrell had nice things to say about McCray in minor league camp.
