Down on the Farm (2017)

[SFGRTB]

Too early to get EXCITED about Anderson, but I think it is fair to call him a legit prospect. He does come with a bit of pedigree.

So far so good.

Taylor Takes Home Pitcher of the Week Award

RVA- The Richmond Flying Squirrels, in conjunction with the Eastern League of Professional Baseball, are pleased to announce that right-hander Cory Taylor has earned the Pitcher of the Week Award for the period of July 24-30. Taylor is the second Flying Squirrels pitcher to earn the weekly award this season, joining Matt Gage, who was the award-winner from June 19-25.

Taylor earns the honor after shutting down the Erie SeaWolves over seven innings on Saturday, July 29 at The Diamond. The 6'2", 255 lb. hurler started one game for the Flying Squirrels last week and had a record of 1-0 with five strikeouts and a 0.00 ERA. Taylor took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of Richmond's 3-0 victory in game one of a doubleheader. He retired the first 16 batters in the game and did not allow a hit until Erie's Dawel Lugo tripled with one out in the top of the seventh inning. Taylor responded by retiring the next two batters he faced to close out the win and earn the first shutout of his career. He struck out five batters and walked one while giving up one hit over seven innings.

The 23-year old led all Eastern League pitchers in batting average against (.045) last week and tied for the league lead in wins (1), complete games (1), shutouts (1), and ERA (0.00). He also ranked second in the league in WHIP (0.29). Cory, who has a record of 4-8 with a 4.20 ERA for Richmond this season, was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the eighth round of the 2015 draft out of Dallas Baptist University.

In San Jose, Melancon pitched a scoreless first inning.

Then Grant Watson came on. Watson had given up only 3 homers in his first 165 innings pitched in the minors, has given up 5 tonight in 4 innings. Krook relieves, and immediately issues a walk to the leadoff hitter.

Sounds like Watson is finally learning the Giant way. Krook already was getting it.

Its funny how Upton didn't play for over a month and the roster on the team's page showed him active. Then, just last week, they updated him to being on the disabled list and this week he is playing.

Sacramento River Cats (AAA) (50-69) lost 3-1

Mac Williamson 1-4, run, RBI, homer (10) (.224)

Andrew Suarez (L, 5-5) 8.1-6-2-2-0-8 (3.36) brilliant start!

Game Story: Sacramento stung by Salt Lake despite Suarez's brilliance

Andrew Suarez gave the Sacramento River Cats (50-69) 8.1 phenomenal innings Saturday night, but it was not enough as the Salt Lake Bees (60-60) hit a three-run home run after his departure to steal the game away, 3-1.

Suarez: Left-hander Andrew Suarez allowed two runs on six hits tonight without allowing a walk…took his fifth loss of the season tonight…tied a season-high by tossing 107 pitches and set a season-high with 74 strikes…now has five straight quality starts…in his last four starts, owns a 1.53 ERA (5 ER, 29.1 IP).

I asked them about it on Twitter, no response, but about a day later or so he was updated. Maybe you were right and the website guys just forgot.

Sunday 8/13

Pitching Line: IP-H-R-ER-BB-K

Sacramento River Cats (AAA) WON 5-3

Melvin Upton Jr. 2-4, 1 R, 2 K.
Mac Williamson 1-4, 2 RBI, also threw out a runner at home.
Ryan Lollis 2-3, 2 2B, 2 R, 1 K.

Matt Gage 6.0-11-2-2-0-5
D.J. Snelten 1.0-1-1-1-1-1. Just the 3rd (THIRD!) homer given up this year in 62.2 IP. He's holding batters under .200, no dramatic R/L batter splits, he's striking out 1 per inning, and he gets an insane amount of groundballs. As has been discussed, he needs to be added to the 40-man this offseason and probably get added before the season ends anyway.
Derek Law 2.0-1-0-0-0-0. 6 straight scoreless outings and he's been dominant, over 9 innings has a 0.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 10 Ks, 6 H, 2 BB. Maybe, just maybe, Law has figured out whatever has been troubling him. The Giants Pen has a chance to be very strong if Law gets back to his 2016 self. Melancon-Smith-Dyson-Strick-Law is formidable, with plenty of options to fill out the back end.

Richmond Flying Squirrels (AA) WON 3-0

C.J Hinojosa 2-4, 1 SB (5).
Myles Schroder 2-4, HR (5), 1 RBI, 1 R, 2 K.
Caleb Gindl 1-4, HR (6), 1 R, 1 RBI.

Matt Lujan 8.0-8-0-0-1-2
Tyler Cyr 1.0-0-0-0-1-1

San Jose Giants (A+) lost 3-1

Bryan Reynolds 1-3, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K.

Mark Reyes 6.0-5-2-2-3-2
Caleb Simpson 2.0-2-1-1-0-1

Augusta GreenJackets (A) lost 11-2

Sandro Fabian 1-3, 2B, 1 R, 1 BB. This is typically the time of year when these A-ball rookies fall off a cliff because it's their first taste of full-season ball and are just gassed. Fabian has found his stroke though, since July 4th batting .306/.328/.500 with a 137 wRC+, .194 ISO, and a very solid 13.8 K% (though terrible 1.5 BB%). He had big expectations coming into this season, and has been overall disappointing, but a strong finish and good Winter League could put him n San Jose next year as a 20 year old.

Yordy Cabrera 2.0-5-6-4-4-2
Jeff Burke 2.0-3-3-3-2-1
Caleb Smith 2.0-3-1-1-1-2
Sandro Cabrera 1.0-2-1-1-1-1
Jose Morel 1.0-1-0-0-0-1

Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (A-) lost 5-4

Malique Ziegler 1-3, HR (4), 1 RBI, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K. Been struggling lately, but he has some pretty insane numbers. When leading off an inning, he's batting .388/.443/.675 (1.118 OPS!) in 80 ABs. When leading off a game, he's batting .378/.440/.733 (1.173 OPS!) in 45 ABs. With no outs, he's batting .333/.402/.581 (.983 OPS). He's a leadoff man through and through.

Stetson Woods 5.0-3-1-1-2-7
Garrett Cave 2.0-4-4-4-2-1
John Russell 1.0-0-0-0-0-2. Only struck out 2 guys this time. Lame. In all seriousness, John Russell has some absurd numbers. 47% K rate, .121 BAA. Dominating stuff from the 2017 16th rounder. Very possible this guy races through the system. Dude has a filthy Curveball, posted dominant strikeout numbers at UCONN (15.6 K/9). He's older (turns 22 in October). Expect to see him in San Jose next year (maybe even this season), and quite honestly be on the radar in 2018 for a big league cuppo.

San Jose Giants (A+) WON 10-3

Jonah Arenado 3-5, HR (11), 2B, 3 RBI, 1 R. Jonah Arenado has been on fire since July 24th. I'll update his insane batting line tomorrow.
Bryan Reynolds 2-3, HR (7), 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB. Reynolds too has had a hot bat, though since May 2nd. I'll update his line tomorrow too.
John Polonius 3-4, HR (2), 2 2B, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 K.
Steven Duggar 1-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB (6).

Sunday 8/13

Sandro Fabian 1-3, 2B, 1 R, 1 BB. This is typically the time of year when these A-ball rookies fall off a cliff because it's their first taste of full-season ball and are just gassed. Fabian has found his stroke though, since July 4th batting .306/.328/.500 with a 137 wRC+, .194 ISO, and a very solid 13.8 K% (though terrible 1.5 BB%). He had big expectations coming into this season, and has been overall disappointing, but a strong finish and good Winter League could put him n San Jose next year as a 20 year old.

Aside from MAYBE Fabian, do ANY of the Augusta OF's merit a move up to San Jose next year??? Not that many will need to move there, since Quinn and Brusa will probably need to repeat. MAYBE Angomas??? Everyone else has pretty much sucked this year. Heyward has been a huge disappointment.

For that matter, do any of the S-K guys (Johnson, Ziegler, Baldwin, etc.) leap past Augusta to San Jose?

For that matter, do any of the S-K guys (Johnson, Ziegler, Baldwin, etc.) leap past Augusta to San Jose?

Good point. There really aren't may guys on this Augusta roster at any position that have earned a promotion. Jacob Heyward has been really up and down, but his peripheral numbers suggest he could jump if only because he needs to get out of that crunch (2nd highest ISO, 3rd highest wRC+, in a fairly tough ballpark to hit in). Angomas probably moves up. Organizational guys like Paulino and Fargas will go wherever needed.

I think it's almost certain that Johnson jumps to San Jose, and very possible Baldwin does too. I think Zeigler goes to Augusta and Gustavo Cabrera makes his return there as well.

Heliot Ramos and Aaron Bond are probably headed to Augusta as well.

Reynolds will move onto AA, if he doesn't before the end of the season. Duggar will move to AAA, if he doesn't before the end of the season. Quinn has been a huge disappointment this year, almost sure he repeats.

Hunter Cole is probably all who moves up from AA.

So we've got:

Augusta: Zeigler-Cabrera-Ramos-Bond-Flumer-Rodriguez (Zeigler-Ramos-Bond in 1 outfield is crazy fast)

San Jose: Fabian-Heyward-Johnson-Quinn-Baldwin-Angomas

Richmond: Reynolds-Davis-Carbonell-Jebavy-Brusa

With Paulino, Fargas, Dunston, Carlos Garcia, Dalton Combs, Chris Burks all around as well. Lots of bodies to feed.

That's how I see is shaking out right now, though 10000% sure it will change many times.

 

[SFGRTB]

Arenado's numbers since July 25th, last 20 games:

.405/.440/.655 (1.094 OPS), 192 wRC+, 14 XBH, 18 RBI, 16 R.

Reynolds numbers since May 2nd, in 82 games:

.330/.380/.479 (.859 OPS), 132 wRC+, 32 XBH, 42 RBI, 54 R.

That's how I see is shaking out right now, though 10000% sure it will change many times.

It will change quite a bit, I'm sure. This does not factor in the inevitable minor league free agents the org likes to use to fill the AA and AAA rosters. There will be injuries, trades and a few of the guys you've mentioned will be minor league free agents as well. According to my calculations Shawon Dunston, Jr, Carlos Garcia and Cristian Paulino will be eligible for minor league free agency. Both Garcia and Paulino have been playing infield as well as outfield for Augusta (actually, I'm not sure Garcia has played much outfield since moving down from Richmond).
