The AAA Sacramento River Cats were the usual collection of non-active players on the 40-man roster, AAAA players hoping for another shot, rehabbing MLB players and a few young prospects getting a bit more salt on their way up. The River Cats finished the season with a 77-73 record good for 3'rd place in the western division. They were 36-39 in the first half(4'th place) and 41-34 in the second half(2'nd place).

Villar was picked up by the Mets and assigned to Syracuse, but did not fare well in 183 PAs and was DFAd in August.
ReplyDeleteHad he accepted a River Cat assignment, where he had done VERY well in 2025, things might have been different when the Giants gave up on Late Night LaMonte.
Might have been...
Villar would benefit from playing overseas next year
DeleteThat Jesus Rodriguez BA kind of jumps out after you. 150 PA, may be a little SSS, but it's not nothing. It would be interesting to see what he can do in the show.
ReplyDeleteSacramento's season's roster:
ReplyDelete35 position players, from McCray's 111 hits (510 PAs) TO Chapman's 0 ( 0-3 rehab).
39 pitchers, from McDonalds 142⅓ IP to Pferrer's ⅓ inning (1 BB).
74 faces, down from FZ's churn of 87.
That must have been a relief for Manager Dave Brundage.
I should have mentioned that Carson Whisenhunt was the PCL Pitcher of the Year.
