The Giants AAA's dominated the MLB's although in fairness, none of the pitchers for either squad are on the 40-man MLB roster and the one most likely to make it started for the AAA's. Key Lines:
Jung Hoo Lee CF- 1 for 2, BB. Lee did what he is supposed to do and did it very well. A potential weakness of a player with his profile is a leadoff hitter usually can't do much without support behind him in the lineup.
Heliot Ramos LF- 2 for 4, BB. A Heliot sighting!
David Villar 1B- 2 for 5, 2B. Villar has an option so the Giants can stash him in Sacramento as depth.
Mason Black RHP- 3.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 5/1. A bit of a walk on the wild side but the Giants are likely to have to add at least one non-roster pitcher to start the season until Blake Snell and the wounded are ready. Black is very much in the running for that.
John Bertrand LHP- 4.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K. Intriguing lefty in the system.
Nick Avila RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. I would like to see Avila get a shot at a bullpen gig before the season is over.
Juan Sanchez LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K. Sanchez is very much in play for a lefty reliever role on Opening Day. Probably did not hurt his chances here.
Eric Silva RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 K. Silva struck out 4 in 2 scoreless innings in two recent appearances.
Bay Bridge Series starts tomorrow evening in Oakland with Jordan Hicks RHP making his final spring tuneup facing J. P. Sears LHP. I am so confused! Are the A's playing their home games in the Oakland Coliseum this year?
Doc - I read that the A's Coliseum lease is up after the 2024 season. They're homeless from 2025 on...
ReplyDeleteI still believe in Villar but he's one of the first names that pops up when you look at our 40 man roster crunch. I imagine another lefty bullpen arm will be added
