AAA: Sacramanto River Cats topped the Las Vegas Aviators 8-7.
Drew Gilbert CF- 1 for 6, HR(1). BA= .300.
Jesus Rodriguez 2B- 2 for 5, 2B, BB. BA= .289.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 5, HR(1). BA= .268.
Victor Bericoto LF- 1 for 5, HR(2). BA= .306.
Wilkin Ramos RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.91.
Eldridge goes from an 0 for 4 with 3 K's to hitting a 2-run HR in the first inning. Interesting that Rodriguez gets work at 2B on a day he doesn't catch. A catcher who can play other positions or a utility man who can play catcher are like the holy grail of roster construction.
AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Altoona Curve 5-3.
Dayson Croes 3B- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .417.
Drew Cavanaugh C- 1 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .545.

Squirrels are off to a 4-1 start with several strong hitting performances.
A+: Eugene Emeralds beat the Vancouver Canadians 5-2.

Dakota Jordan CF- 3 for 5, 3 2B. BA= .273.
Diego Cartaya C- 1 for 2, HR(1), 2 BB. BA= .091.
Zander Darby 2B- 3 for 4, SB(1). BA= .533.

Ryan Slater RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.
Kilen continues to rake A+ and appears to be a candidate for early promotion. Tyler Switalski, a big lefty who was the Giants 16'th round draft pick in 2024 is off to a great start with 17 K and just 1 BB in 8 IP.
A: San Jose Giants whipped the Visalia Rawhide 8-2.
Jhonny Level SS- 3 for 5, 2 2B, HR(2). BA= .522.

Mauricio Estrella RHP- 2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Cooper McGrath RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 6.75.
Dylan Carter RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.
I'm getting excited to see the SJ Giants play in Rancho Cucamonga next week(weather permitting). I feel like if I don't catch them next week, Jhonny Level might be moved up by the time they come to Ontario in May. Junior Barajas is off to an exciting start too. Cooper McGrath is 6' 8", 240 lbs. He was the Giants 18'th round draft pick in 2025. Bower was the 11'th round pick out of St Mary's. Dylan Carter was a UDFA signing after last year's draft.
RE the Vancouver Canadians, there are 2 US teams with the nickname Americans: the Rochester Americans (AHL) and the Allen Americans (ECHL), both professional hockey teams.
ReplyDeleteThe Allen Americans are from Texas.
There does not seem to be any other college or professional team nicknamed the Americans.
When was the last time all four Giants minor league teams had winning records?
ReplyDeleteSac 7-4
Richmond 4-1
Eugene 5-0
San Jose 4-1
Could we infer the SF Giants' future is, perhaps, bright?
OK, the season is young: SF may turn it around and the minors may also...
Will Bednar is pitching in relief: 2 games, 2-0, 3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ERs, 4 Ks, 0.67 WHIP
