Down on the Farm: 5/2/2015

AAA  El Paso Chihuahuas mauled the Sacramento River Cats 10-6:

Ronny Cedeno(SS)- 1 for 2, HR(2), BB, Sac.  BA= .291.
Ben Turner(Catcher)- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .800.
Juan Gutierrez(RHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.95.

Turner is a guy who I think is a sleeper in the system.  He has not shown any power to speak of, but  had terrific K and BB numbers last year for San Jose to go with a high BA.

New Britain Rock Cats beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-3:

Blake Miller(2B)- 2 for 3, SB(1).  BA= .232.
Mitch Delfino(3B)- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .246.
Mac Williamson(RF)- 4 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .280.
Ricky Oropesa(1B)- 3 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .169.
Matt Lujan(LHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K's, GO/AO= 9/0.  ERA= 4.35.

Over on MCC, several people listed Mac as one of their top 3 disappointments for April in the Giants minor league system.  Really?  I thought he was doing OK myself.  This is the EL and Richmond we're talking about here, right?  Anyway, hopefully this is the start of a huge month of May for Mac.  Ricky showed some signs of life.  This is more the way Lujan pitched last year for San Jose.

High A  Stockton Ports defeated the San Jose Giants 8-7:

Jesus Galindo(CF)- 3 for 5, BB, SB(5).  BA= .264.
Hunter Cole(2B)- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .282.
Austin Slater(DH)- 3 for 5, 2B, BB.  BA= .323.
Ryder Jones(3B)- 2 for 5, HR(3).  BA= .313.
Brian Ragira(1B)- 1 for 2, HR(1), 3 BB.  BA= .151.
Luis Ysla(LHP)- 4.1 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 3 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 11.37.
Ian Gardeck(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.15.
Jake Smith(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.06.

Little Giants had 22 baserunners and 2 HR's yet scored just 7 runs.  Learnin' early!  Disaster start for Ysla.

Low A  Delmarva Shorebirds outscored the Augusta Greenjackets 11-10:

Travious Relaford(SS)- 3 for 5, 3B.  BA= .292.
Jonah Arenado(3B)- 3 for 4, BB,  BA= .306.
Andrew Cain(LF)- 2 for 4, BB. BA= .258.
Sam Coonrod(RHP)- 5.1 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.68.

Is the toolsy Relaford finally getting some traction on his career?  Arenado gets his BA above .300.  Strong peripherals from Coonrod.

  1. What is 'MCC?' This is the second time I've seen that term in two days.

  2. Plus, Mac did miss all of last year, so he has spent a good chunk of April getting back into the swing of things. I'll be more worried if he's struggling come July.
