Down on the Farm: 7/21/2025

Full Season Leagues had their standard Monday off.

Rookie ACL:  Giants outscored the Rangers 9-8.

Jose Ortiz RF(20 yo)- 2 for 3, SF.  BA= .217.
Dario Reynoso 2B(20 yo)- 2 for 4, Sac, SB(18).  BA= .299.
Santiago Camacho C(18 yo)- 3 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .241.
Ramon Peralta 3B(21 yo)- 1 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .245.
Angel Guzman 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .220.
Jose T Perez RHP(21 yo)- 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.57.

Jose Ortiz was off to a hot start with A San Jose when he went down with what looked like a bad hammy in a game I attended in early May.  He is just now rehabbing from that injury.  Gotta think Dario Reynoso has raised his stock significantly with his performance this season.

DSL:  Giants Orange outlasted Pirates Gold 7-6(12 innings).

Yulian Barreto DH(17 yo)- 2 for 4, BB, SF.  BA= .336.
Carlos Martinez C(17 yo)- 2 for 4, 2B, SF, SB(1).  BA= .161.
Brandon Vasquez LF(18 yo)- 3 for 6, 2B, 2 SB(3).  BA= .273.
Randry De Leon RHP(20 yo)- 2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 5.14.

Yulian Barreto played in the DSL All-Star Game and looks like we should see him in ACL lineups next year.

DSL:  Giants Black destroyed Pirates Black 12-3.

Luis Frias CF(20 yo)- 2 for 5, BB, SB(10).  BA= .301.
Josuar Gonzalez SS(17 yo)- 1 for 2, HR(2), 3 BB.  BA= .250.
Yohendry Sanchez C(18 yo)- 3 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .290.
Leandro Rodriguez LHP(19 yo)- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.55.
Frainer Mejias RHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.66.

Josuar Gonzalez hits his second career HR 3 days and 1 game after his first.  Yohendry Sanchez received the largest Giants bonus from the 2024 international signing period at $1.4 M.  He did not play much last DSL season but his bat has come alive this year.  We should see him in the ACL next year.

The Giants reportedly signed 17 of their 18 draft picks with 20'th round selection Elijah McNeal SS being the only one left out.  It seems unlikely they will sign him away from his commitment to UC Davis as they are within $10, 000 of having to pay penalties for going over their bonus limit.  Good for Elijah.  His scouting report says he is a good student.  He got a workout at Oracle Park, a draft selection to put on his CV and a scholarship to a great school.  If he's a good player he should be in a better draft and bonus position in 3 years.  If not, he's getting a great education.

The Giants were able to get underslot on most of their picks so they could sign 2 of the 3 high school players they drafted, Reid Worley RHP in round 9 and Luke Mensik RHP in round 17.  I figured they would most likely only sign Worley out of the high schoolers.  

I watched a video by a group called On the Clock. In their opinion, 4'th round selection Lorenzo Meola SS is the best defensive shortstop in the draft.  They really liked the pick.  They mock drafted Gavin Kilen SS/2B to the Giants at #13 overall so they like that pick and think he was drafted at the appropriate level.  They also liked Cameron Maldonado OF in round 7, Ben Bybee RHP in round 8 and Damian Bravo OF in round 15.  One comment they made is the Giants drafted a lot of really wiry players.  They gave them a solid B for the draft and said they did well with the resources they had given they didn't have the 2'nd or 5'th round picks and had the 6'th lowest bonus pool.   I have seen other grades of C and C+.
