AAA: Salt Lake City Bees swarmed over the Sacramento River Cats 11-5:
Wade Meckler LF- 1 for 4, HR(5). BA= .308.
David Villar 3B- 2 for 4, HR(15). BA= .256.
Hunter Bishop CF- 2 for 4. BA= .239.
Donovan Walton DH/RHP- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .302.
AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Akron Rubber Ducks 7-6:
Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 5, 2B, BB. BA= .258.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .182.
Diego Velasquez SS- 2 for 5. BA= .304.
Matt Higgins LF- 2 for 5. BA= .264.
Luis Toribio 3B- 2 for 3, 3B. BA= .209.
Nick Sinacola RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.68.
Will Bednar RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 7.53.
It's been another rough season for Will Bednar but Roger Munter sent out an X message saying he was hitting 97 MPH with the FB in this appearance.
A+: Vancouver Canadians edged out the Eugene Emeralds 4-3:
Sabin Ceballos 3B- 2 for 4, HR(6). BA= .300.
Hayden Wynja LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.97.
Austin Strickland RHP- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 5.46.
Ceballos success takes the sting out of FZ giving up on the season by trading Jorge Soler but playing 3B in Oracle Park is probably not in his future.
A: Fresno Grizzlies topped the San Jose Giants 5-4:
Walker Martin SS- 1 for 3, HR(1), 2 BB. BA= .211.
Guillermo Williamson 1B- 3 for 5, 2B, HR(12). BA= .241.
Cale Lansville RHP- 6 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K's, GO/AO= 4.36.
Cameron Pferrer RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 2.16.
Walker Martin seems to be finishing the season on an up note: 5 for 11 in 3 games in Sept. 12 for 36 in 10 games since 8/24.
Sabin Ceballos 1B?
ReplyDeleteHasn't Eldridge has been appointed 1Bman of the future.
Will this be another McCovey and Cepeda?
Not a bad problem to have, but now there is the DH.
Ceballos is 3 years older but behind Eldridge, A+ & AA.
Will the River Cats' 29-yo 1B Trenton Brooks (355 PAs: .313/.421/.458/.879) and 30-yo 2B Donovan Walton (364 PAs: .302/.374/.442/.816) just go by the wayside?
ReplyDeleteIn the PCL, their Batting Averages would place 4th and 5th after 1 player from Las Vegas and 2 from Reno who are 24 & 25 yo. (Neither River Cat qualifies because they don't have the minimum # of ABs.)
If Brooks and Walton were 24 & 25, it would be different, no?
Although it hasn't helped 24-yo Wade Meckler who has an .883 OPS, higher than both the older Sacramento players.
The 22-yo Matos and Luciano are getting their looks although neither has a shiny AAA performance.
They have the pedigree, which is more important.
Perhaps Luciano can play instead of Wisely and Matos can play instead of Conforto tonight
