Down on the Farm: 8/31/2024

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats edged out the Las Vegas Aviators 4-3:

Luis Matos LF- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(14), SB(8).  BA= .257.
Wade Meckler RF- 2 for 4, 2B, 3B.  BA= .292.
Blake Sabol C- 1 for 4, HR(9), SB(11).  BA= .241.
Cavan Biggio 2B- 1 for 3, BB, SB(2).  BA= .200.
Carson Seymour RHP- 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 8/3.  ERA= 4.80.

What does the future hold for Matos, Meckler, Sabol and Seymour?  4 intriguing prospects whose futures are unclear.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Erie Seawolves 10-6:

Ismael Munguia DH- 3 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .310.
Justin Wishkoski 2B- 1 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .273.
Luis Toribio 3B- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .195.
Jimmy Glowenke SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .196.
Dylan Cumming RHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.84.

Cumming is another undrafted FA signed out of indy ball.  In his last 4 starts he allowed 5 ER in 20.2 IP(2.18 ERA) with 23 K's and 10 BB's.  Ismael Munguia carries a similar profile as Wade Meckler. Does he have enough power to stick at the MLB level?  Luis Toribio and Jimmy Glowenke have had some good games but over all disappointing and probably candidates for release over the winter.

A:  Rancho Cucamonga Quakes defeated the San Jose Giants 6-4:

Cesar Quintas RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .233.
Ryan Reckley 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .206.

    1. meaning, not that Vaughn isn't better although he may or may not be in the immediate or long term, but wouldn't you like to have a better player than Vaughn at 1B?
      Is Vaughn an improvement over Wade?
      Vaughn hits more HRs but his D is terrible, his WAR is negligible, and he's a Free Agent in 2 years.
      No thank you.

    2. ...and would likely hit fewer homers playing home games in Oracle.

  2. My pet theory on why the Giants aren't calling up Luciano because they see a position change for him coming in the offseason. So they don't want to "try" him out at 2B for a month only for him to be moved to the OF shortly thereafter?

    Not fully sure if this makes sense though, because they could also just call him up to DH.
