Down on the Farm: 9/1/2024

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats outscored the Las Vegas Aviators 11-9:

Cavan Biggio DH- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(2).  BA= .226.
Will Wilson 3B- 3 for 4. BA= .208.
Luis Matos RF- 1 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .256.
Trenton Brooks 1B- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .313.
Marco Luciano SS- 3 for 5.  BA= .250.
Hunter Bishop LF- 1 for 4, HR(9), BB.  BA= .231.
Clay Helvey RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.40.
Justin Garza RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.60.

Hard to believe Cavan Biggio is 29 yo and has over 1500 MLB AB's under his belt.

AA:  Eries Seawolves topped the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-5:

Ismael Munguia CF- 1 for 3, HR(5), BB.  BA= .311.
Victor Bericoto 1B- 1 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .257.
Diego Velasquez SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .307.
Nick Morreale RHP- 3.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.00.
Nick Garcia RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 1.41.
Will Bednar RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, GO/AO= 3/0.  ERA= 7.76.

Does Bednar get another season to try to find some traction on his career?

A+:  Eugene Emeralds defeated the Everett Aquasox 6-4:

Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 1, HR(12), 2 BB, SF.  BA= .335.
Cesar Perdomo LHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K.  ERA= 4.41.

Not much more to say about Eldridge.  As tempting as it is to say he should promoted to Richmond for the last two weeks of the season, it's probably best to let him finish on a high note for Eugene and start next season in AA.  

A:  San Jose Giants beat the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 5-2:

Zander Darby 2B- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .233.
Cesar Quintas CF- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(12).  BA= .236.
Robert Hipwell 3B- 1 for 3, HR(4), BB. BA= .218.
Ubert Mejias RHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.63.
Elijah Pleasants RHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, GO/AO= 9/1.  ERA= 1.78.

  1. If Farhan isn’t fired then obviously he isn’t going to give up on his first round baby Bednar just like he hasn’t given up on his first round baby Bishop. Both are busts. Especially Bishop

    1. Farhan should be fired.

    2. tough decision coming on hunter bishop, he's rule 5 eligible this offseason. tossup whether or not he gets protected since he has shown some flashes this season. bednar likely gets one more year, as much as it's time for farhan to bounce, i do think greg johnson will give them one more year with extra eyes.

    3. FZ tends to be penurious with Rule 5 protect adds. I would bet a fair amount that neither Bednar nor Bishop are in line for a 40-man roster add this November.

    4. i don't think bednar is subject to rule 5 just yet. good luck to whatever franchise drafts bishop in rule 5. carson ragsdale is a name to watch in rule 5 protection this offseason.

    5. Wasn't Bishop unprotected last year?

    6. Per Fangraphs Bednar is Rule 5 Draft eligible Dec. 2024.

    7. Bishop was rule 5 eligible and unprotected last year.

    8. bednar won't get picked up by another organization but, if he doesn't show progress, he will become cash considerations.

    9. auerbach might have been added to the 40-man if wasn't hurt in the minors, i do think he gets rule 5 protected. i only see two locks for rule 5 adds, auerbach and ragsdale.

  2. Looks like Eldridge is headed to Richmond.

  3. Bryce Eldridge was just called up to Richmond. Good for him to prepare for next season. Other teams are moving up their top prospects quickly also. Should be fun following his progression!

  4. The minor league season looks to be ending soon. Pleasants likely should go to Eugene next year.
