AAA Fresno Grizzlies chewed up the El Paso Chihuahuas 7-4:
Juan Perez(RF)- 3 for 5. BA= .341.
Mark Minicozzi(LF)- 2 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .292.
Adam Duvall(3B)- 2 for 5, 2B, E(15). BA= .303.
Travis Ishikawa(1B)- 2 for 2, HR(9), BB. BA= .259.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 6.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 3.53.
Kickham is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.79 over his last 10 starts. His GO/AO has taken a big jump this season from 1.46 to 1.93 and he's at 2.58 over his last 10 starts.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels soared over the Harrisburg Senators 7-3:
Kelby Tomlinson(2B)- 0 for 3, 2 BB, 2 SB(40). BA= .266.
Matt Duffy(SS)- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .344.

Hunter Strickland(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.61.
Crick has 2 QS in a row, He has allowed 6 runs in 27 IP over his last 5 starts for an ERA of 2.00. He has 37 K against 14 BB in that span. He still walks a few more than ideal, but I see a pitcher who is settling down and gaining maturity and consistency from start-to-start.

At this point in the year it's tough to ignore what Matt Duffy is accomplishing at Richmond. At a level, in a league that has been a killer for many Giant prospects, Duffy is putting up startlingly strong numbers. What say you Doc? Are you seeing any reports that provide insight into just how good Duffy might be? Or, is he viewed as a fringe prospect having an outlier year?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I am wondering the same thing. It's just very hard to find any major flaws in his numbers even if you delve into the K and BB rates. He hit well last year too, so it's getting increasingly difficult to call it a fluke.
DeleteDuffy, in my opinion, is the epitome of what bloggers and publication types completely overlook, but the baseball industry really values. He's a gamer... a guy who doesn't get the headlines, but he helps win ballgames. He earned pretty nice reviews for his defense at SS this spring, and anyone who hits .340 in his first season at AA should not be overlooked. Personally, I think he has more power in the tank as well. For those who haven't seen him, go plug his name into Youtube. I love his swing. Great bat speed, confident player. I think he's major league material.
