Down on the Farm: 5/26/2025

The top three levels all had their usual Monday off despite the holiday.

A:  San Jose Giants crushed the Inland Empire 66'ers 11-2.

Carlos Gutierrez RF- 1 for 4, HR(2), BB.  BA= .335.
Dakota Jordan CF- 3 for 5, 2 SB(17).  BA= .298.
Jakob Christian 1B- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(8).  BA= .283.
Walker Martin SS- 2 for 5, HR(8).  BA= .217.
Robert Hipwell 3B- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .225.
Fernando Gonzalez C- 2 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .233.
Hunter Dryden RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.25.
Cole Hillier RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.47.

A lot going on here.  Good to see Carlos Gutierrez showing occasional power.  He looks to me like he can add more as he matures physically and as a hitter.  Dakota Jordan had a short dip in his BA but is now rebounding.  A is a conservative placement for a player drafted out of college.  I think the concern with him was whether the hit tool measured up to the others.  If he continues to hit a promotion to his expected level of A+ might be considered.  Ditto for Jakob ChristianWalker Martin may not have an impressive BA but he's made his hits count.  The HR today was a grand slam.  With Greg Farone's recent struggles, Hunter Dryden looks like the top Giants SP prospect at this level.

Rookie ACL:  Rangers outscored the Giants 9-8.

Jhonny Level SS- 1 for 4, HR(2), SF.  BA= .258.
Victor Bericoto RF- 3 for 5, 2B, 3B.  BA= .583.
Rayner Arias LF- 1 for 3, HBP.  BA= .280.
Santiago Camacho C- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .194.
Ricardo Estrada LHP- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 6 K's, 5/0 GO/AO.  ERA= 2.30.

It would seem Victor Bericoto is ready to move back to his regular level.  Didn't he just get promoted to AAA before he went on the IL?  He's a pretty serious bat who might even be able to help the Giants at the MLB level if they aren't able to find help in the trade market.
