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 Christian. Walker 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.
