AAA Sacramento River Cats defeated the Round Rock Express 3-1:
Jeff Samardzija RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Matt Gage LHP- 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 6.10.
A fully healthy Shark would go a long way towards giving the Giants a shot at the postseason. He may be just 1 more rehab start away.
*********************************************************************************
AA Harrisburg Senators blanked the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-0:
Luigi Rodriguez RF- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .366.
Jordan Johnson RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 3.76.
Luigi! Jordan Johnson has allowed just 1 ER in 11 IP with 14 K's and 3 BB's over his last 2 starts.
*********************************************************************************
A+ Visalia Rawhide whipped the San Jose Giants 6-0:
Wander Franco(.291), Sandro Fabian(.232), Kelvin Beltre(.250)- 2 hits each.
The Giants had 11 hits and 3 BB's in the game and still failed to score.
*********************************************************************************
Low A Asheville Tourists outscored the Augusta Greenjackets 6-5:
Heliot Ramos CF- 1 for 5, 2B, Assist(2B). BA= .231.

Mikey Edie RF- 2 for 2, 2 BB, SB(1). BA= 1.000.
Stetson Woods RHP- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.86.

Jesus Tona RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, Save(1). ERA= 0.00.
Is the Jose Layer Project going to blossom this season? What about Mikey Edie who seems like he's been around forever? Layer is 21 yo and Edie is still just 20. BTW, in case you were wondering. Yes, Jose Layer is the brother of Abdiel Layer who was the Giants final pick in this year's draft. Wasn't Jesus Tona a catcher last year?
*********************************************************************************

Game Wrap 6/15/2018: Dodgers 3 Giants 2
A 3-base error by CF Austin Jackson in the 4'th inning was ultimately the difference in this game as the Giants were never able to overcome an early 3-0 Dodger lead. Key Lines:
Pablo Sandoval 1B- 2 for 3, HR(5). BA= .281. Pabs poked a 2-run dinger to LF in the 7'th inning to bring the Giants within 1 run, but the Giants were not able to get that tying run. Pabs is hitting .304 over his last 7 games and .356 over his last l5.
Austin Jackson CF- 0 for 3, E(3). BA= .246. Oh boy! Here come the boo birds, a whole flock of them! Yeah, gotta say. As much as I iike what Bobby Evans accomplished this offseason, I've never understood the Austin Jackson signing. He was so anxious to get rid of Denard Span he gave away Christian Arroyo to pay the Rays to take him, but then turned around and signed Jackson, who statistically was a worse defensive OF and definitely a worse hitter, so his performance in this game is no surprise. Not much else to say about it. I guess Jackson was less of a hit against the CBT, but Evans could have done just was well dumpster diving for a minor league deal. There were a couple of good defensive CF's available in the Rule 5 draft that he passed on too.
Derek Holland LHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 4.48. Pretty much an average game for Holland. You hope he'll keep the game close for 5 innings and give the bullpen a chance to win it. If you get more, it's a windfall. He did that in this game and the unearned runs was ultimately the difference.
Pierce Johnson RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K. ERA= 5.46. The Giants needed an extra arm in the bullpen after Ty Blach's 6.2 IP Thursday. Johnson took Evan Longoria's place on the roster and gave the Giants 2 scoreless innings.
********************************************************************************
With the Loss, the Giants dropped into 4'th place 5.5 games behind the NL West leading D'Backs who beat the Mets 7-3. The Dodgers remained 2.5 games back in 2'nd place. The Rockies topped the Rangers 9-5 to remain 5 games behind the leaders and move in to 3'rd place. The Pesky Padres pounded the Braves 9-3 to remain 6.5 games behind in last place.
*********************************************************************************
Madison Bumgarner tries to even the series tonight facing lefty Alex Wood. Brandon Belt is expected to be activated from the DL for the game.

Scouting the Draft: Giants 2018 Draft Picks Rounds 31-40
OK, with the short season teams swinging into action tonight, let's get the draft reviews wrapped up.
Round 31, Pick #916. Ryan Walker, RHP, College(Washington St). 6' 2", 200 lbs. 2018: 4-4, 5.24, 46.1 IP, 25 BB, 47 K, 5 Saves. Again, no scouting report. Closer for a Pac 12 program.
*********************************************************************************
Round 32, Pick #946. Braden Frankfort, C, College(Fresno Pacific). B-L, T-R. 6'0", 205 lbs. 2018: .347/.410/.528, 10 2B, 2 3B, 6 HR, 15 BB, 31 K, 176 AB. Never heard of Fresno Pacific before, but that's a nice stat line, especially for a catcher.
*********************************************************************************
Round 33, Pick #976. Austin Edgette, OF, College(Bloomsbury U(PA)). B-L, T-L. 6'2", 185 lbs. 2018: .449/.539/.703, 15 2B, 2 3B, 7 HR, 24 SB, 28 BB, 30 K, 158 AB. Small college Sr. Played CF. Touching story of how he helped a kid with autism.
*********************************************************************************
Round 34, Pick #1006. Lucas Krull, LHP, JC(MO). 6'3", 165 lbs. 2018: 2-1, 10.26, 16.2 IP, 38 BB, 27 K. This is an almost comical pick. The size numbers are what's listed on the Draft Tracker. Krull is actually built like his name sounds: 6'7", 255 lbs. He also plays TE and has a commitment to play football for Univ. of Florida. Hint: He's not signing with the Giants!
*********************************************************************************
Round 35, Pick #1036. Chris Roberts, RHP, JC(TX). 6'0", 210 lbs. I could not find a stat line but Kevin Cunningham of McCovey Chronicles dug up an 8.86 ERA, 19.2 IP, 22 K. He reportedly has a 92-94 MPH FB and an 82 MPH slider. Played for the fabled San Jacinto(TX) JC program for 3 seasons. I could not find him listed on their roster.
*********************************************************************************
Round 36, Pick #1066. Bryan Hoeing, RHP, College(Louisville). 6'5", 200 lbs. 2018: 7-2, 2.88, 68.2 IP, 25 BB, 51 K. Listed as 6'6", 228 lbs in his college bio. Found a scouting report that has him 88-95 on the FB with a fairly advanced breaking ball and changeup. TJ survivor. Mom played college basketball for Ball State. Cousin is Alex Meyer, the big RHP out of Kentucky who is currently in the Twins organization. Size may give him some upside. The Giants like to draft tall, big pitchers!
*********************************************************************************
Round 37, Pick #1096. Ryan McDonald, RHP, JC(NV). 6'7", 220 lbs. 2018: 5-1, 1.62, 39 IP, 21 BB, 45 K's. Another big, tall RHP with control issues but big upside.
*********************************************************************************
Round 38, Pick #1126. Brett Hansen, LHP, HS. 6'3", 190 lbs. #94 ranked draft prospect by MLB. Committed to Vanderbilt. In other words, he's not signing.
*********************************************************************************
Round 39, Pick #1156. Trevor Horn, RHP, College(UNLV). 6'1", 200 lbs. 2018: 5-5, 5.96, 77 IP, 25 BB, 43 K. Pretty generic college bio and pitching line.
*********************************************************************************
Round 40, Pick #1186. Abdiel Layer, SS, JC(FL). B-S, T-R, 6'2", 170 lbs. 2018: .265/.335/.434, 9 2B, 8 HR, 20 BB, 45 K, 196 AB. Tall, thin, athletic SS who came out of PR HS ranks. Looks like he may have some upside.
Round 31, Pick #916. Ryan Walker, RHP, College(Washington St). 6' 2", 200 lbs. 2018: 4-4, 5.24, 46.1 IP, 25 BB, 47 K, 5 Saves. Again, no scouting report. Closer for a Pac 12 program.

Scouting the 2018 Draft: Giants Rounds 21-30 Picks
Round 21, Pick #616. Angel Guzman, C, HS(PR). B-R, T-R. 6'0", 155 lbs. There is some video of Guzman on Perfect Game. He looks bigger than 155 lbs and surprisingly athletic. Has some wrap at the beginning of his swing, but does a good job of keeping his elbows in during the swing. Athletic enough to move to 3B or even possibly the OF. We'll see. The Giants history with Puerto Rican HS draftees is the kids look great on video but never put it together in real games.
*********************************************************************************
Round 22, Pick #646. Clay Helvey, RHP, College(Tampa). 6'3", 190 lbs. 2018: 5-2, 3.34, 70 IP, 30 BB, 56 K. No scouting report. Fairly generic looking college pitching line.
*********************************************************************************
Round 23, Pick #676. Ben Strahm, RHP, College(Northeastern St(OK)). 6'5", 210 lbs. 2018: 2-5, 4.16, 62.2 IP, 22 BB, 64 K's. Have I ever said the Giants like to draft tall pitchers?
*********************************************************************************
Round 24, Pick #706. Preston White, OF, College(The Masters College(CA)). B-R, T-R. 6'6", 200 lbs. 2018: .326/.404/.484, 15 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 12 SB, 18 BB, 40 K, 190 AB. 4-8, 3.45, 44.1 IP, 29 BB, 42 K's, 6 Saves. 2-way player in college. Program has produced Conner Menez and Brandon Van Horn, 2 prospects currently playing for San Jose Giants. Looks like he has the speed and athleticism to play any OF position. The challenge for guys this tall is always controlling the strike zone in the pros.
*********************************************************************************
Round 25, Pick #736. Fabian Pena, C, College(Manhattan College(NY)). B-R, T-R. 5'10", 190 lbs. 2018: .255/.365/.411, 12 2B, 6 HR, 23 BB, 33 K, 192 AB. Small program college catcher with some plate discipline and decent power.
*********************************************************************************
Round 26, Pick #766. Jacob Lopez, LHP, JC(CA). 6'4", 220 lbs. 2018: 9-2, 1.62, 88.2 IP, 26 BB, 128 K's. There is an extensive scouting report on Lopez in Baseball Census linked to the left. Big lefty with a 4 pitch mix with excellent command. 4 seam FB goes 86-90. Comment is he is strong enough to drive the ball down in the zone. Bobby DeMuro who wrote up the report projects him as a left reliever at the MLB level.
*********************************************************************************
Round 27, Pick #796. Dylan Dusek, LHP, College(Texas Tech). 6'2", 215 lbs. 2018: 3-0, 2.03, 31 IP, 11 BB, 30 K's. College Senior lefty reliever from a major program with nice numbers.
*********************************************************************************
Round 28, Pick #826. Travis Perry, RHP, JC(FL). 6'4", 190 lbs. 3-4, 4.02, 31.1 IP, 14 BB, 32 K. Only scouting report is from 2013 when he was in HS on Perfect Game. Tall RHP with a projectable frame.
*********************************************************************************
Round 29, Pick #856. Marcos Campos, SS, College(Siena). B-R, T-R. 5'10", 160 lbs. 2018: .322/.355/.402, 17 2B, 3B, 9 SB, 6 BB, 26 K, 239 AB. Solid HS scouting report on Perfect Game. Sounds like he's always been able to handle the bat. Does he want to turn pro now or go back to college for his senior season?
*********************************************************************************
Round 30, Pick #886. Kwan Adkins, OF, College(Northwestern St(LA)). B-L, T-L. 6'2", 195 lbs. 2018: .321/.396/.404, 7 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 7 SB, 23 BB, 64 K, 240 AB. College Senior. Listed as 6'4" in his college bio. 2-sport athlete who played WR on the football team. That's all I have but seems like an intriguing athlete.
*********************************************************************************
Round 22, Pick #646. Clay Helvey, RHP, College(Tampa). 6'3", 190 lbs. 2018: 5-2, 3.34, 70 IP, 30 BB, 56 K. No scouting report. Fairly generic looking college pitching line.

Down on the Farm: 6/14/2018

Casey Kelly RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K's, GO/AO= 9/2. ERA= 4.77.

Game Wrap 6/14/2018: Giants 6 Marlins 3 in 16 innings
It wasn't easy, but in the end, the struggle was worth it as the Giants rallied for 3 runs in the top of the 16'th inning and hung on for the win. Key Lines:
Joe Panik 2B- 0 for 6. BA= .239. Gotta wonder if Joe completely healthy as he is in a deep slump: 3 for 36 since going 6 for 11 in his first 3 games back from the DL.
Andrew McCutchen RF- 3 for 7, HR(8). BA= .267. Cutch hits his second first inning, 2-run dinger in as many games. He is hitting .339 for the month of June. Interestingly, he has not drawn a walk in June and sports a .339/.339/732 slash line.
Evan Longoria 3B- 0 for 1, HBP. BA= .246. The HBP in the. 4'th inning broke the 5'th metacarpal on his left hand. Same injury as Madbum, so he'll be out awhile.
Alen Hanson 3B- 3 for 5, 2 2B. BA= .338. One big difference from last year's team is depth and Alen Hanson has been a huge part of the depth. So much so, that some fans might be happy to see him playing 3B instead of Evan Longoria!
Pablo Sandoval 1B- 1 for 4, 3 BB. BA= .271. Pabs has transformed himself into a more patient hitter, but it was his bases loaded single in the 16'th that broke this one open and led the way to the win.
Mac Williamson LF- 1 for 3, HR(8). BA= .250. Mac homered in the 2'nd inning to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. He was lifted in a double switch in the 7'th inning....for Hunter Pence, who went 0 for 4 the rest of the way. True, the Giants had the lead at that point, but is Hunter Pence the guy you bring in as a defensive replacement?
Gorkys Hernandez CF- 2 for 6, SF. BA= .289. The Magic Wandu is back for Gorkys who is hitting .318 over his last 7 games. His SF gave the Giants an insurance run in the 16'th inning.
Dereck Rodriguez RHP- 6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.34. DRod logs his 2'nd QS out of 3 which should be enough to keep him around awhile longer.
Ty Blach LHP- 6.2 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 10/1. ERA= 4.22. Blach may have found his true calling as a long reliever. He's allowed just 1 ER in 14 IP in 5 Appearances, since moving to the bullpen. This yeoman outing brings back memories of Yusmeiro Petit and the 2014 playoffs!
*********************************************************************************
The NL West leading D'Backs won as did the Dodgers so the Giant remain in 3'rd place, 4.5 games behind the leaders with the Dodgers 2.5 games back in 2'nd place. The Rockies lost to the Phillies to fall 5 games off the pace which the Padres dropped to 6.5 games back in last place.

Down on the Farm: 6/13/2018
AAA Sacramento River Cats defeated the Round Rock Express 7-5:
Steven Duggar CF- 3 for 5, 2B, SB(10). BA= .290.
Gregor Blanco LF- 3 for 5, 2B, HR(1). BA= .357.
Ronnie Freeman C- 1 for 4, HR(2). BA= .254.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.97.
Derek Law RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(5). ERA= 5.63.
Steven Duggar's BA reached a nadir of .240 on May 13. Since then, he's gone 38 for 109= .349. So, this is a 1 month hot streak now.
*********************************************************************************
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels blanked the Portland Seadogs 3-0:
Miguel Gomez 2B- 2 for 4, HR(3). BA= .283.
Jerry Sands 1B- 1 for 3, HR(10), BB. BA= .235.
Chase Johnson RHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 1.74.
Mike Connolly RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 3.99.
Will LaMarche RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.86.
Dillon McNamara RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, Save(4). ERA= 2.08.
With Andrew Suarez essentially graduated and Tyler Beede having a terrible season, who is the Giants top pitching prospect right now? Chase Johnson and Logan Webb are in the conversation and probably we should add Sean Hjelle as soon as we know he's signed. Giants really need to get some pitching prospects out of this draft class.
*********************************************************************************

Heath Quinn DH- 2 for 4. BA= .333.

Calvin Mitchell OF(Power)- 1 for 2, 2B, HBP, SF. BA= .326.
I have a rooting interest in Calvin Mitchell, the Pirates 2'nd round draft pick from last year. Turns out he's my cousin's wife's nephew, or something like that. Close enough for a family rooting interest. My cousin lives in Augusta and they went out to the game to support Calvin last night. He's been tearing up the SAL and had a nice game for them. I liked his bat coming into last year's draft. I've read comps to former Angels OF Garrett Anderson.
