Jacob Bresnahan is developing nicely.  He is not Rule 5 Draft eligible until December 2027.  By that time he should be close to MLB ready and an easy decision to add to the 40-man roster.

I attended this game.  Josuar Gonzalez HR was batting RH against rehabbing MLB'er Yusei Kikuchi LHP.  It was a rocket that cleared the apex of the Quakes sign above the LF scoreboard.  So far, Josuar has been more of a slap and dash hitter but this kid has almost unlimited power potential.  Luis Hernandez has struggled at the plate so far in A ball but he played SS in this game and looked like a major leaguer out there.  He bobbled one easy roller but ranged about halfway into LF to make an over-the-shoulder catch of a shallow fly ball.  He also made a strong throw from the hole and made it look easy.  Dario Reynoso is deceptively big with enormous wiry strength in his upper legs.  Ricardo Estrada is a smallish soft-tossing lefty who will have to depend on pitchability and keeping the ball on the ground.  Max velocity on stadium radar gun was 91 MPH.

DSL:  Giants Orange topped the NYY Yankees 7-6(7 innings).

Yoxander Benitez CF- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .299.

Jose Vasquez RF- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB.  BA= .306.
