Down on the Farm (2016)

[Mays-Fan]

You ever get to minor league games, MaysFan? Any teams close to you?

No (sadly) and yes. I live in Charlotte, NC. Kannapolis NC is an hour away, and the Intimidators are the low-A affiliate of the CWS. Same league as Augusta, but Kannapolis is in the Northern Division, Augusta in the Southern. The Hickory NC Crawdads (Northern Div) are about 75 minutes away, and the Columbia SC Fireflies (Southern Div) are about 90 minutes away. Unfortunately, Mrs MaysFan is not a baseball fan.

Chris Heston pitched in relief?!?! Wondering if the Giants have dumped him off their starting pitching depth chart.

He also threw 4IPs. I wonder if they just haven't slotted him yet.

It would have seemed that Romero going on the dl would have made it easy to slot him in. However, they moved Albert Suarez in (who I wanted to see start in Sac) from the bullpen. We'll see. I know that they've also been spot starting guys (and using starters in relief) so I'm not really sure what is going on there.

We thinking of the right Suarez?

The one in Sac is 26, and has bounced around a bit.

This one is 23 and in San Jose, a 2nd round pick in 2015. This guy is the real deal.

Arroyo didn't play. I hope he isn't hurt too badly...

Yes I am. He had a good season last year and I wanted to see if the Giants scored a prize in the minor league free agent market. I'm also excited to see Andrew starting in San Jose.

According to a tweet I recently read, one of our kids, SS Travoius Relaford of A ball, received a 100 game suspension for 3rd positive test for drug of abuse.

I'd ban him for that first name alone....

Not too surprising. His prospect-ness had pretty much disappeared the last few years. It was worth the risk for him to give it a try.

The "drug of abuse" term leads me to believe he's more Josh Hamilton then he is Manny Ramirez.

So it does.

This may explain why his prospect-ness has dried up.
