Down on the Farm: 7/12/2026

 AAA:  Salt Lake City Bees outscored the Sacramento River Cats 11-8.

Turner Hill CF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .326.
Daniel Susac C- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(2).  BA= .464.
Scott Bandura LF- 0 for 2, 3 BB, SB(9).  BA= .262.
Jake Holton 1B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .218.
Dayson Croes 3B- 4 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .250.
Aeverson Arteaga SS- 3 for 5.  BA= .252.
Eric Cerantola RHP- 0.1 IP, 0 H, 5 R, 5 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 33.75.
Marques Johnson RHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.34.
Michael Fulmer RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 3.47.

Gotta think Susac will be back after the break.  Not sure if Cerantola was being tried as a starter or opener, but it didn't go well.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Altoona Curve 5-3.

Bo Davidson DH- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .277.
Parks Harber 3B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .284.  
Jean Carlos Sio CF- 2 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .232.
Diego Velasquez LF- 2 for 4, 2B, SB(18).  BA= .291.
Trystan Vrieling RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.04.
Cristian Alvarado RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(4).  ERA= 0.00.

I read that Bo Davidson is ticketed for a promotion to AAA this week.  I don't recall seeing LF  or any other OF position after Velasquez' name in boxscores before.  Trystan Vrieling allowed a total of 3 runs in 17 IP over his last 3 starts.  Recent addition Alvarado has impressed out of the bullpen.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds smacked the Spokane Indians 9-5.

Jhonny Level SS- 2 for 3, BB, SB(6).  BA= .302.
Carlos Gutierrez LF- 1 for 3, BB, SB(20).  BA= .260.
Lisbel Diaz RF- 2 for 4, 2 HR(14).  BA= .263.
Zander Darby 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(7).  BA= .260.
Jakob Christian DH- 2 for 4.  BA= .250.
Onil Perez C- 2 for 4.  BA= .225.
Luis De La Torre LHP- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 5.17.
Ubert Mejias RHP- 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 8.44.
Ryan Slater RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.34.

Lisbel Diaz is 9 for 24 with 4 HR since his brief sojourn in San Jose.  Jhonny Level continues to thrive in A+ ball.  Would the Giant push him to AA before the end of the season?

A:  San Jose Giants crushed the Visalia Rawhide 12-5.

Lorenzo Meola SS- 2 for 4, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .256.
Jeremiah Jenkins 1B- 3 for 6, 2B, HR(13).  BA= .261.
Yosneiker Rivas 2B- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .289.
Oliver Tejada RF- 4 for 5, 2B, SB(2).  BA= .250.
Nate Nabholz RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.84.
Samir Chires RHP- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Short Season leagues were idle as usual on Sundays.

  1. Level has not shown the power he showed in A-ball SJ now that he's in A+, and it seems like the right challenge for his skillset right now - I hope they let him stay there for the season. With Kilen moving up to AA, Level takes over full time Shortstop duties in Eugene, and 19 y/o at A+ is already well ahead of the typical track. I think you let the kid start next year in AA, maybe with a grab bag of AA at bats before the end of the year.

    BUT: Will his defense let him stay at SS at the MLB level???

  2. Hasn't Cerantola always had a significant walk problem?
    Did Posey think SF's AAA coaches could fix it? They haven't, but he's been in Sacramento less than a week

  3. Looking forward to Susac's return. Get him fore reps for next year. Love watching him throw the football around as a warmup.

  4. Velasquez moving to OF opens up a MIF position, which I think is for Kilen.
