Down on the Farm: 8/23/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats played pepper with the field in a win over the El Paso Chihuahuas 11-5:

Mauricio Dubon SS- 3 for 5, BB.  BA= .305.
Joey Rickard LF- 4 for 4, 2 BB.  BA= .366.
Mike Gerber RF/CF- 4 for 6, 2B.  BA= .318.
Aramis Garcia 1B- 2 for 5.  BA= .273.
Christhian Adames 2B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .295.
Justin Haley RHP- 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 6.75.

16 singles in 18 hits with 4 BB's for the Cats.  The other two hits were doubles.  Mauricio Dubon had his 6'th multi-hit game out of his last 10.  Four of those were 3-hit games and one was a 4-hit game.  He's hitting .422 over his last 10.

AA  Akron Rubber Ducks outlasted the Richmond Flying Squirrels 4-3(10 innings):

Joey Bart DH- 2 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .213.
Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 7.43.

Joey Bart has struggled to make contact in the EL with 15 K's in 50 PA, but has shown power with 3 HR's in the same span.

A+ San Jose Giants defeated the Stockton Ports 3-1:

Manuel Geraldo SS- 2 for 4, HR(5).  BA- .242.
Tristan Beck RHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.18.
Olbis Parra RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K,  ERA= 2.38.

Tristan Beck is looking more and more like a savvy pickup in the Mark Melancon trade.  At this point I would think he would easily be in my Top 50 Giants prospects, possibly top 30.
