AAA Sacramento River Cats crushed the Albuquerque Isotopes 11-2:
Steven Duggar CF- 2 for 5. BA= .333.
Joey Rickard LF- 2 for 4, SF. BA= .324.
Francisco Pena 1B- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .333.
Aramis Garcia C- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B. BA= .255.
Henry Ramos RF- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .269.
Abiatal Avelino SS- 2B, HR(7). BA= 286.
Andrew Suarez LHP- 8 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 11/7. ERA= 5.54.
What happens to Steven Duggar after he's done rehabbing? Is Avelino for real or is this a sillyball mirage? Andrew Suarez' start went a bit better than his last appearance when the Cats used an Opener for him.

He has 91 K's in 65 IP, but that also comes with 43 BB's. Dominant 3 innings for Keith Weisenberg. He has 38 K's in 29 IP for the GJ's but also 19 BB's.

Miguel Figueroa RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.97.
Wow! I've been following prospects for a long time and I don't recall anything quite like what we're seeing from Marco Luciano. What do you do with a 17 yo prospect who is way too good for a level that's already advanced for his age? Farhan seems to be a little more aggressive in his prospect development philosophy than Sabes/Evans.

The Giants did not make quite the splash they made last July 2, but did spend some $$ on the opening of the international signing period. As expected, they signed MLB Pipeline's #23 international prospect, LHP Esmerlin Vinicio to an $800 K deal. They actually gave a bigger deal at $1.2 M to a Venezuelan SS, Aeverson Arteaga and another $800 K to another Venezuelan SS, Anthony Rodriguez. They also signed a RHP, Manuel Mercedes from the DR who is described as "hard throwing." Don't know much about any of these kids, but the video of Vinicio looks promising, wiry, athletic, loose arm with an over-the-top delivery. I'll try to do some digging on scouting reports when I have a bit more time.

Duggar should return, when he's done rehabing. Austin gets shown the door.
ReplyDeletePillar is gone after the Break and Tyler Austin stays in SF if he can develop into being at least average. Too much Power potential to not be patient. Austin Slater is given a longer look, Pillar has no future with the Giants.
DeleteIf Pillar stays hot, he should be eminently tradeable. LOL- trade the Giants leader in HRs, RBIs, 2Bs, hits, runs, and stolen bases!
ReplyDeleteTyler Austin is young enough to keep, AND did he ever kill the Padre rally in the 7th with a bulls-eye beebee to 3rd for a spectacular double play.
Solano's career splits don't favor him against LHP but he's the only legit backup at SS. He's not young like Avelino, who should be getting the ABs if the Giants cash in the Bullpen.
By the time the Giants are relevant again, ever position player over 27 will be irrelevant. There are only 16 of the 40-man roster who are under 28 -- hang on to them!
I know this view is somewhat unpopular here, but the Giants have an opportunity to make room for Duggar, Avelino, Zach Green, A Garcia and several bullpen pieces. This is NOT a roster with realistic post season hopes, and behaving as if there is hope will simply slow down the rebuilding process.
ReplyDeleteBeyond Bumgarner, Smith, Watson and Dyson, Pillar, Pablo and Vogt likely have value. None of those players are going to push the Giants over the top this year or next. The Giants need to bite the bullet and restock the organization with talent.
