Down on the Farm: 7/15/2011

AAA Fresno edged the Sacramento River Cats 4-3 in 10 innings:

Edgar Gonzalez(SS-2B)- 2 for 4, HBP. BA= .306.
Brandon Belt(1B)- 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB. BA= .341.
Brett Pill(2B-1B)- 2 for 3, SF, S. BA= .307.
Matt Yourkin(LHP)- 6 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 10 K's. ERA= 4.60.
Waldis Joaquin(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.81.

Belt is hot. A dominant start for Yourkin. Joaquin is quietly having a good season.

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Bowie Baysox 4-2:

Charlie Culberson(2B)- 2 for 5. BA= .266.
Wes Hodges(1B)- 2 for 4, 2 HR(5). BA= .253.
Johnny Monell(C)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .255.
Ryan Verdugo(LHP)- 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K's. ERA= 3.69.

Culby's line is .289/.325/.526 over his last 10 games. Monell is hitting .375 over his last 10 games. Verdugo has 95 K's in 90.1 IP this season.

High A San Jose Giants topped the Visalia Rawhide 3-1:

David Mixon(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.59.

Tommy Joseph has hit .294 since June 1. I couldn't find a mention of Mixon retiring on the sjgiants website. Must have been in a tweet or something.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets finally got a couple of games in sweeping a DH from the Hagerstown Suns 7-0 and 3-2 in 11 innings:

Game 1:

Brett Bochy(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 1.99.

Kickham's start ended when the game was suspended on 7/14.

Game 2:

Chris Lofton(CF)- 2 for 5, 2B, SF. BA= .249.
Gaspar Santiago(LHP)- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.90.

Santiago has allowed 2 ER in 19 IP over his last 4 appearances with 7 BB's and 16 K's.

Short Season Yakima Bears topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 6-1:

Shawn Payne(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .262.
Chuckie Jones(LF)- 1 for 4, SB(2). BA= .240.
Reiner Roibal(RHP)- 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.33.

Chuckie Jones is off the DL. Second game back after a long layoff. He K'd 4 times in his first game back.

Rookie AZL Giants crushed the D'Backs 8-1:

Eldred Barnett(CF)- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .279.
Ben Thomas(1B)- 3 for 5, 2B. BA= .429.
Brian Nicholson(DH)- 1 for 4, HR(2), BB. BA= .341.

Adalberto Mejia(LHP, 18 yo)- 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's. ERA= 1.01.

Not sure what Mejia is doing in the DSL but he looks like he's for real.

  1. Drb, Thanks I've learned a lot about Giants minor leaguers from your blog and Baseball America. BA had a interesting article recently on Chuckie Jones. The Giants wanted to start him in Low A Augusta, but he had minor leg and oblique injuries. The trainers are working with him to improve his flexabilty so those injuries don't reoccur. Fred Stanley refers to him as "Mr Jones" because he's build like a man. Interesting that he's athletic enough to play CF at 6'2" 235. Thanks, your blog was the 1st place I heard about him..
