Down on the Farm: 7/26/2023

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats cooled off the Albuquerque Isotopes 8-1.

Tyler Fitzgerald SS/CF- 2 for 4, 2B, HBP, SB(19).  BA= .289.
Heliot Ramos RF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .298.
Donovan Walton 2B- 2 for 5.  BA= .400.
Ricardo Genoves 1B- 1 for 3, HR(4), 2 BB.  BA= .249.
Joey Bart C- 0 for 1, HBP.  BA= .218.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 6 IP,  H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 12/1.  ERA= 5.07.

Reminder that when Sean Hjelle last pitched in MLB on June 21, he threw 4 shutout innings against the Padres.  I feel like Hjelle, Ramos, Fitz and possibly Joey Bart are players other teams might have interest in and the Giants might be willing to trade at the deadline.  Speaking of Joey Bart, he seems to have come out of the game after the HBP.   Hopefully precautionary.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Portland Sea Dogs 7-5.

Vaun Brown RF- 1 for 3, BB, 3 SB(15).  BA= .237.
Shane Matheny SS- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .229.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds outlasted the Spokane Indians 6-3(10 innings).

Aeverson Arteaga SS- 1 for 5, HR(13).  BA= .225.
Carter Williams RF- 2 for 4, 2 HR(2).  BA= .239.
Grant McCray CF- 1 for 3, 2 HBP, 2 SB(35).  BA= .245.
Andrew Blair RHP- 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 7/3.  ERA= 10.03.
Sam Delaplane RHP- 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.93.

Arteaga with the walk-off 3-run HR in the 10'th.  His slash line for July is .278/.326/.557.

A:  San Jose Giants defeated the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 6-4.

Turner Hill CF- 2 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .263.
Diego Velasquez SS- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .311.
Patrick Hilson RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .232.
Dylan Cumming RHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 2.43.
Wilkelma Castillo RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.35.

  1. All the AAA prospects you mentioned are expendable. Ramos might be most painful given absence of OF but we have a couple in AA who might be ready to be promoted and guys coming off the DL. Fitz is great but ML now in the big leagues, CS can move to super sub and Fitz becomes expendable given overall depth. We seem to have a lot of pitchers that deserve a spot.

  2. All wins!
    Re Vaun Brown: The AA opposition seems to have discovered he will swing at anything he thinks he can hit, wherever it is which worked OK at the lower levels. Can he recover? Can Schmitt?

    1. Good questions, I'd say development is an on going process which makes following the progress of young players so interesting. Matos and Bailey were struggling to hit in A ball last year. Both battled back from injuries, worked hard and look at them now. Schmidt is looking a little better offensively and provides excellent defense at 2nd base and shortstop.

  3. And speaking of Vaun Brown, one of his SB's was a straight steal of home plate on the catchers throw back to the pitcher.
