AAA Fresno Grizzlies topped the Oklahoma City Redhawks 4-1:
Buster Posey- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .338.
Joe Borchard- 3 for 4, 2B. BA= .353.
Eric Hacker- 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO=12/2. ERA= 2.20.
Santiago Casilla- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00.
Posey's OBP is .429. Over his last 10 games, Buster's BA is just .314, but his OBP is .442 with a SLG% of .571 for a OPS of 1.013. Hacker is putting up some interesting numbers at this level. At this point, there just aren't any openings at the MLB level. I am quite confident that we will see Casilla in SF sometime this season.
AA Erie Seawolves downed the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-1:
Darren Ford- 2 for 5. BA= .246.
Thomas Neal- 3 for 5, SB(5). BA= .268.
Daryl Maday- 5 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 1.57.
Craig Whitaker- 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.32.
Thomas Neal is continuing the baserunning success he found in the Arizona Fall League into AA.
High A Game 2, DH San Jose Giants defeated the Visalia Rawhide 5-1:
Juan Perez- 3 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(6). BA= .352.
Johnny Monell, Charlie Culberson, Wendell Fairley, Ehire Adrianza- 1 for 3, 2B.
Oliver Odle- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.03.
Juan Perez continues to be the hottest hitter on the team. 5 of the team's 8 hits went for doubles.
High A Game 1, DH Giants edged the Visalia Rawhide 5-4:
Juan Perez- 2 for 3, BB, 2 SB(5). BA= .338.
Charlie Culberson- 2 for 3, 2B, SB(4). BA= .250.
James Simmons- 2 for 3, 3 SB)7). BA= .253.
Justin Fitzgerald- 6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 8 K's, GO/AO- 7/2. ERA= 2.00.
The Little Giants ran wild on the bases in this game. Fitzgerald had good looking peripheral numbers.
Low A Augusta Greejackets scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to edge the Savannah Sand Gnats 1-0:
Not much to see on offense as Hector Sanchez was the only Greenjacket with more than 1 hit going 2 for 3.
Zack Wheeler- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 5.06. Nice recovery from a poor start his last time out.
Zack Wheeler's dominant start has to be the big news on the farm tonight.

Juan Carlos Perez is certainly becoming intriguing. What do we know about him?
ReplyDeleteAlso, although we know it's very early in his minor league progression, it's hard not to be excited about Zach Wheeler righting the ship and starting to enjoy some success. Barring the Giants drafting some sort of reincarnation of Lincecum this June, I think much of our future pitching strength lies in the right arm of Mr. Wheeler.
I think the Giants future pitching strength lies in the arms of Lincecum, Cain, and Sanchez, as well as Bumgarner and Wheeler.
ReplyDeleteJuan Perez has been a delightful surprise this season. But he was known more for his power in college, not speed, so his numbers are the reverse of what I know about him.
DrB, are you aware of any site that provides a minor league players game by game stats? Minor League Splits provide compiled info well, but I want to see the game by game run down. Thanks in advance.
hey Dr B, is a medical question OK here? About deRosa...here is the question. Somebody on MCC opined that the tendon repair is not something you can re do at his age, and expect to be an athlete again. Maybe that is why they keep putting off the surgery and hoping deRosa can "adapt." Whaddya think? thanks, 54 was good

ReplyDeleteLyle,
ReplyDeleteI think that pitching is currently the thinnest part of our farm system. Wheeler is certainly important to the Giants future. There are some other high ceiling kids who we should start seeing after the draft and short season ball starts up. Edward Concepcion, Escobar(the new kid we got from Texas), Reiner Roibal(the Cuban signee) are all names to watch for later this summer. It will be interesting to see how Cam Lamb does too.
Medical Question: I'm not an orthopedist and don't know the details of DeRosa's case. Just off the top of my head, I would say that age is not a factor here. Surgeries that fail and have to be redone are not a good thing at any age. All surgeries result in scar tissue that tends to make a second surgery technically more difficult and makes wound healing more difficult. So yeah, I'm not surprised that DeRosa's choices might not be very appealing. My reaction upon hearing that the surgery had failed was one of dismay at least of an order of magnitude greater than if it was a de-novo injury.
