AAA: Las Vegas Aviators shut down the Sacramento River Cats 5-0:
Nothing to see here. Lamonte Wade Jr RF and Evan Longoria DH went a combined 0 for 8. Tommy La Stella 2B/UT DNP.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Akron Rubber Ducks 7-3:
Michael Gigliotti CF- 1 for 4, 2 SB(6). BA= .277.
Frankie Tostado 1B- 1 for 4, HR(3). BA= .346.
Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 1 for 3, HR(3), BB. BA= .153.
Bryan Brickhouse RHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 6.46.
Tostado extends his hitting streak to 10 games.

A+: Eugene Emeralds outscored the Hillsboro Hops 7-6:
Jairo Pomares DH- 1 for 3, HR(2), BB. BA= .229.
Hunter Bishop RF/CF- 1 for 4, HR(3). BA= .123.
Casey Schmitt 3B- 2 for 4, 2 HR(5). BA= .310.
Pomares and Bishop are still looking for traction. Casey Schmitt has definitely found traction. His prospect stock is taking on serious helium.

A: San Jose Giants edged the Stockton Ports 3-2:
Vaun Brown LF- 2 for 4, HR(3), SB(7). BA= .273.
Mason Black RHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 2.89.
Mat Olsen RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.77.
Bishop may need to go back to SJ to build some confidence. BA of .123 hurts my eyes.
ReplyDeleteFirst Round is starting to feel like a Wasteland for Giants.
ReplyDeleteAfter that insane run 2007-9 (Bum, Posey, Wheeler), they haven't done much.
2010-15: Brown, Crick, Panik, Stratton, Arroyo, Beede, Shaw, Bickford
2016, no first round pick. Awesome to pick up Reynolds with their first pick in the 2nd. Absolutely brutal, trading him.
Too early to tell on 2017-2021: Ramos, Bart, Bishop, Bailey, Bednar.
(Huh, last 4 pick's last names start with "B.") While it's too early on these guys, the returns have been far from dazzling. I don't think any of them is projecting to anything beyond average Major Leaguer at this point. A lot of caveats with the 2020 suspension of the minor leagues, etc. And everything below, say, the first 5 picks in the 1st is a crapshoot. But it has been a long drought.
