Down on the Farm: 8/25/2023

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats defeated the El Paso Chihuahuas 6-3.

Trenton Brooks 1B/LF- 1 for 4, HR(18).  BA= .297.
Luis Gonzalez RF- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .268. 
Donovan Walton 2B- 3 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .286.

I really like Brooks minor league stat lines.  Strong K and BB rates with decent HR power.  Not sure why he didn't seem to fit into the plans of a team like the A's.  We don't have defensive metrics for the minor leagues but he seems to be a 1B/corner OF/DH type which is a tougher sell for the MLB level.  Luis Gonzalez must have cleared waivers.  Will Donny Walton ever get another shot at a MLB job?

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels vs Portland Sea Dogs postponed.

A+:  Hillsboro Hops crushed the Eugene Emeralds 11-3.

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 4, 2B, SB(44).  BA= .253.

A:  Modesto Nuts topped the San Jose Giants 5-2.

Bryce Eldridge RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .375.
Quinn McDaniel 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .286.

  1. Might as well throw another rookie out there – LH batting outfielders are Meckler and Sabol, neither the power bat that the Giants need – is Brooks?
