Down on the Farm: 8/25/2024

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats topped the Tacoma Rainiers 6-3:

Wade Meckler CF/LF- 2 for 4, HR(4), BB.  BA= .316.

Marco Luciano 2B- 2 for 4, HR(9), BB.  BA= .243.

Carson Seymour RHP- 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.96.

Justin Garza RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.68.

This was Meckler's 4'th HR in 7 games.  I think all those came after I mentioned I had concerns about whether he had enough power to hit at higher levels.  Concern retracted!  What a difference a year makes!  A year ago the narrative was the Giants still did not have a homegrown OF since Chili Davis.  The new narrative is their homegrown OF is filling up fast and it looks like they may have players waiting in line.  Does that set up some potential trades?  Up and down year for Marco Luciano.  Is he next season's Heliot Ramos?
