Down on the Farm: 6/18/2013

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels vs Binghampton Mets was rained out.

High A  San Jose Giants were idle for the Cal/Carolina leagues All-Star Game.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets were idle for the Sally League All-Star Game.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes pounded the Boise Hawks 9-2:

Randy Ortiz(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .278.
Tyler Hollick(RF)- 2 for 5.  BA= .500.
Jonathan Jones(1B)- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .250.
Sam Eberle(3B)- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .333.
Gabriel Cornier(C)- 2 for 5, 3B, HR(1).  BA= .400.

Cornier is a 21 yo switch-hitting C who hit .319 with the AZL Giants last summer.

DSL  Twins defeated the Giants 4-1:

Nothing to see here.  Giants managed just 1 hit in the game.  No outstanding pitching performances.

AAA  Reno Aces outslugged the Fresno Grizzlies 14-10:

Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .235.
Carter Jurica(SS)- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .291.
Johnny Monell(1B)- 3 for 6, 2B, HR(13).  BA= .311.
Brett Pill(3B)- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .366.
Jackson Williams(C)- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(4).  BA= .224.
Kensuke Tanaka(LF)- 3 for 4, BB.  BA= .329.

Yesterday, we asked if Gary Brown was getting homer happy.  I think he answered that question quite nicely with this game.  How hot is Johnny Monell?  Brett Pill tries to expand his versatility.
