Down on the Farm (2017)

[SFGRTB]

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).

And possible trades, if the Giants sell some pieces off (though I hope they would be getting talent closer to MLB than low-A ball).

And a few Dominican players might move up (Franklin Labour perhaps, or Alexander Canario though that would be a massive leap for a 17 year old so odds are really low).

 

[VASFfan]

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.

I can see Ramos moving to Augusta but since he's so young I wonder if a move 'up' (if that's what it is) to S-K is more likely. You really think Brusa moves up? His numbers don't seem much different from Quinn's. Jebavy and Reynolds, yes, they move to Richmond. Cole, I guess he could move to Sacramento though he hasn't exactly killed it at Richmond. You make a decent argument for Heyward but I'm still skeptical, esp. if all of the other guys you list are at San Jose (plus if I'm right about Brusa staying at San Jose). That's quite the log jam. Of course, if he stays at Augusta, then that situation gets even worse. Ziegler, Cabrera, and Bond seem like sure things. Rodriguez, probably. If they don't baby him, Ramos for sure. That's already 4 or 5 guys. I have to wonder if this leads to Fulmer (and Dunston?) getting squeezed out of the organization, or at least being held back in Scottsdale.

Someone (I don't remember who) brought up that the org wants to be more conservative on promotions. If that holds true, Ramos probably goes to S-K. However, the org doesn't always follow through with what they say (example, playing the "kids" in SF). There isn't much at the upper levels, so I expect the org to sign a few minor league free agents this offseason. However, as you and other mentioned, there is a log jam in the lower minors. I think you are right on guys like Dunston getting squeezed out. They will probably release one or two guys as well (like Fulmer or maybe even Fargas).

Giants' recent history of high school picks shows that they aren't afraid to promote higher draft picks to Augusta.

2015 Jalen Miller - SS (3rd round). Augusta
2014 Logan Webb - P (4th round). Salem
2013 Christian Arroyo - SS (1st round). Augusta (and was sent down to Salem)
2013 Ryder Jones - 3B (2nd round). Augusta
2013 Johneshwy Fargas - OF (11th round). Salem. Now Fargas might be the closest comp to Ramos, as both came out of Puerto Rico around the same age (Fargas 6 months older). But, thus far, Ramos has shown much more in Arizona.
2012 Shilo McCall - OF (9th round). Salem.

I think with what Ramos has shown so far, he's definitely headed to Augusta.

My thought process with Brusa is that he's an older player with not much to show. He's a TOP at best. Though he hasn't hit much in San Jose, so it's probably not fair to send him to a tough hitters park and is probably not realistic. Guys like him though have a little window and he probably blew it this season. Likely org depth at this point.

With Cole, similar boat to Brusa. Except I think the Giants owe it to him to move him up into a better place to hit. Unless in some bizarro world he's enjoying life in Richmond. There should be some space for him in Sacramento.

This has also reminded me that Jose Layer needs to be thrown into the Augusta/Salem mix.

Ah, using history to document your argument, eh? Ok, so there's a decent, 50/50 chance Ramos is in Augusta. I'd kinda like to see that, hopefully he does well and can accelerate his growth curve. But if he's there, then Gonzalez probably has to go too? He seems to be doing about as well as Ramos, if not better. But what does that do to someone like Matheny? And if Layer is added to the mix (which he should be, as you suggested), what about (pulling one of several possible names at near-random) someone like Rincones, or Munguia (did I spell that right?). My head's starting to spin with all the possibilities. A good problem to have I guess, too bad we don't have more such issues in the upper minors. I guess everything will work its way out over the winter and spring.

Who does that these days?!

But yeah I think the Giants will aggressively promote Ramos, Gonzo, and Seth Corry. Possible one or some of the Salem guys move to San Jose (another long-term precedent the Giants have had with their college bats: Salem--San Jose--Richmond within a year).

And as you say, there's a lot of stuff that's going to happen between now and next March. Tons of moves to come.

 

[calsnowskier]

I agree. Ramos and Gonzo are KILLING it. I would not be totally shocked to see one or both sent to SJ next year. That would also keep them close for FO viewing...

So you guys think that the FO saying they plan to be more conservative in moving guys up are empty words?

I just heard that reported on another site (drb?). I never heard it from a credible source.

But if I had to guess where they would go, I would guess the both start in Augusta, with quick promos to SJ.

 

[SFGRTB]

So you guys think that the FO saying they plan to be more conservative in moving guys up are empty words?

Yeah I believe that, until I see further evidence that they are slowing down promotions, I will stick to recent history (despite some seemingly slow movement, aggressive early promotions remained the same).

Christian Arroyo won't play again for Giants in 2017

Christian Arroyo is not going to take the field again this season.

"He won't be back," Giants GM Bobby Evans announced on KNBR 680. "He's gonna hopefully get some winter ball opportunity, but he will not be healthy enough to come back this season during the regular season."

The Giants selected Arroyo with the 25th overall pick in the 2013 draft.

He made his big-league debut on April 24.

Over his first 13 games with the Orange and Black, he hit .255 with three home runs and six RBI.

But over his next 21 games (19 starts), he hit .149 with no home runs, eight RBI and 19 strikeouts.

On June 4, he was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Then, on July 1 -- in his first minor-league game in a couple weeks -- he sustained a broken left hand when he was hit by a pitch.

Arroyo underwent surgery on July 10.

Not terribly surprising, but I really hope he is able to play Winter Ball in the Dominican or something. Those are competitive leagues, and would face some good competition.

Heliot Ramos 2-3, 3B, 2B, 2 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB (10). Stud. He was thrown out trying to stretch his double into a triple (also got tagged before the runner scored, he'll learn!).
