Giants Farm Report

Hey, those were the days, huh? This one is not like that.


Augusta Green Jackets:

the hitters:

Chuckie Jones RF is off to a slow start .186 / .269/ .254
Rafael Rodriguez LF same way .200 / .259 / .240
SS Matthew Duffy is really the only starter over .250

the pitchers:

Martin Agosta RHP 3-1 1.71 ERA 1.10 WHIP
Chris Stratton RHP 2-0 1.08 ERA 0.96 WHIP
Kendry Flores 1-0 2.04 ERA
Joan Gregorio 2-0 1.06 ERA 0.76 WHIP

all the starters are doing well and in the bullpen:
Tyler Mizenko, Stephen Johnson and Derek Law are all closing well.

They get 'em to Steve Kline and he really develops 'em to move up the chain. He is going to be somebody's MLB pitching coach real soon if the Giants don't protect him. ( $$ )

San Jose Giants:

Starting Pitching all doing pretty well.

Claton Blackburn 2-0 1.06 ERA
Edwin Escobar 0-0 1.84 ERA
Ty Blach 2-1 1.59 ERA
are excelling, while Chris Marlowe and Adalberto Mejia are scuffling a bit.

among the bats:

Mac Williamson struggling at .217
Shawn Payne at .290

only Kelby Tomlison SS .324 and Ryan Cavan who is repeating the level by shifting to 2B and hitting .329 are excelling.

Yech!!

Richmond Flying Squirrels:

On the mound:

Jack Snodgrass 6-6, 216 RHP from Austin Peay is leading the charts 3-0 2.01 ERA

OK That's it!!!

in the batter's box:

Adam Duvall continues to rake .378 Avg 1.222 OPS
Joe Panik at .282
Ehire Adrianza at .254
Andrew Susac at .250
Ricky Oropesa .217
Jarret Parker .193

OK, now I'm really depressed.

Let's go to Fresno and see if anyone in this organization can hit.

Fresno Grizzlies:

first a view from the mound:

Heath Hembree 1-0 2.25 ERA 4 Svs 8 K's in 8 IP. Nice!!
Mike Kickham 0-2 7.13 ERA 2.04 WHIP. Not Nice!!

now to the bats:

Gary Brown at .197 Yikes!!
Chris Dominguez .243  He looks too good in a uniform to be hitting .243, but we're not selling jeans here.
Roger Kieschnick .368 Avg.1.086 OPS
Francisco Peguero .395 Avg. .831 OPS 0 SB. Too fast to be at 0 SB on 0 attempts.

Oh well, still early. Some good news, some bad news. We'll see if it gets better once the weather warms up.
