Down on the Farm: 5/16/2012

AAA  The PCL was idle.

AA  Harrisburg Senators defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-1:

Jason Stevenson(LHP)- 7 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 5.82.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.25.

High A  San Jose Giants cracked the Modesto Nuts 5-3:

Ryan Lollis(CF)- 3 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(4).  BA= .333.
Joe Panik(SS)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .253.
Jarrett Parker(LF)- 3 for 4, SB(8).  BA= .176.
Jack Snodgrass(LHP)- 7 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 10/2.  ERA= 1.69.

Lollis is having a fine season but is old for the level.  Panik has hit safely in 8 of his last 10 games with multi-hit efforts in 4.  An 0 for 5 interrupted his momentum on Monday.

Rome Braves topped the Augusta Greenjackets 4-2:

Joseph Biagini(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 8.76.
Paul Davis(RHP)- 4.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.58.

  1. I think that the minor league ranks need to make some changes to give some other prospects a shot.

    Augusta:
    Why does Biagini keep getting starts? Do you think that they are protecting Gregorio and don't want to "rush" him until he pitches for Salem-Keizer later this summer? Or do you think they are just keeping the spot warm for Mejia after has some more success out of the pen?

    Also where is RafRod? I think I have seen enough of Eshelman playing CF and it is time to move Shawn Payne to center or move him up to San Jose for some better competition.

    San Jose:
    I am not very thrilled with Devin Harris continuing to get at bats and would love to see Payne up there ASAP.

    DrB, are there any other changes you wish the Giants would make in their minor league assignments?

    1. Excellent questions:

      I believe the Giants believe that Biagini has a big upside and want to try to develop that.

      Not sure what the deal with Gregorio is. Hurt? Ticketed for S-K?

      I also have no idea about RafRod. I assume he's in extended ST for some reason but have not heard that he's hurt.

      I agree that Payne should be up in Fresno.

      Otherwise I think the assignment are OK so far.
