Johneshwy Fargas RF- 1 for 4, SB(50).  BA= .249.

Garrett Williams LHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.60.

Someone asked whether I was surprised by Joey Bart's success in AA:  1.  Almost nothing that happens in this small a sample size should be surprising.  2.  Joey Bart is a really good player who is still my #1 Giants prospect.  So no, I am not surprised.  I guess a more interesting question to me is if between this small sample and if he does well in another small sample in the Arizona Fall League, if he starts next year in AA or if he does the Buster Posey and goes straight to AAA for his second full pro season?  Corollary: What is the Giants ETA for Joey Bart and how are they going to finesse playing time for him and Buster Posey?
