PrintHighlights of the day: (a) Brandon Crawford has four hits in four plate appearances; (b) Buster Posey has two XBH; (c) Matt Downs has three XBH. Honorable mention for a pitcher goes to Daryl Maday with another effective start, although his peripheral stats keep him just in the honorable mention category this time.
AAA: Fresno defeated Albuquerque 5-4 (14 innings)
Fresno: CF Andres Torres: 0 for 3, 2 SO
Fresno: 2B Matt Downs: 3 for 7, 3 2B
Fresno: 1B Jesus Guzman: 2 for 5, 2 2B, 2 BB, 2 IBB
Fresno: SS Jake Wald: 4 for 7, 2B, 2 SO, E
Fresno: RHP Ryan Sadwoski: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K--1 HR
Fresno: LHP Alex Hinshaw: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
Fresno: LHP Geno Espineli: 2.0 IP, 1 BB, 2 K
Fresno: RHP Steve Palazzolo: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 3 BB, 1 K--1 HB
Albuquerque: LHP Shawn Estes: 6.0+ IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Wald had four of the Grizzlies' sixteen hits, raising his AVG to .215. He had had just five hits during his previous nine games. Guzman also reached base four times, although twice by intentional walk. He had two doubles, while Downs had three doubles--interestingly enough, all against five different pitchers. Both of them now have 12 doubles this year. Torres now has 9 SO in 16 AB in his five rehab appearances.
Sadowski and Estes, the ex-Giant now in the Dodgers organization, both had quality starts with 3 ER in 6.0 IP. Sadowski has now allowed exactly 3 ER in five of his last seven starts. Estes now has a 3.00 ERA after eight starts. Although Sadowski has not allowed more than 3 ER in any start, he has an ERA above 4.00. Hinshaw allowed a run for his first blown save. Espineli and Palazzolo combined for five scoreless innings in the extra frames, allowing just one hit but four walks. Espineli improved his ERA to 2.84 while Palazzolo's ERA remained above 4.00.
AA: Connecticut lost to Binghamton 4-2
(allowing two runs in the 9th inning)
Connecticut: SS Brandon Crawford: 4 for 4, E
Connecticut: CF Mike McBryde: 2 for 4, SO, CS
Connecticut: RHP Daryl Maday: 6.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
Connecticut: RHP Waldis Joaquin: 0.2 IP, 1 H
Connecticut: LHP Joe Paterson: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K--1 HB
Crawford had four of the Defenders' eleven hits, raising his AVG to .351. He now has 13 H and 11 SO in 37 AB since his promotion. McBryde, playing his first game as a Defender, was one of two other Defenders with a multi-hit line.
Despite allowing a season high 8 H, Maday had his third straight start with at least 6.0 IP and no more than 2 ER. Joaquin had his sixth straight appearance without a strikeout. Paterson's appearance resulted in a stat line not fitting with the rest of his season. He had previously allowed 0 ER and 2 BB in thirteen appearances but allowed 2 ER and 4 BB in his fourteenth appearance of the season.
A+: San Jose defeated Inland Empire 6-3
San Jose: DH Buster Posey: 2 for 3, 2 2B, HBP
San Jose: 3B Conor Gillaspie: 2 for 4, 2B
San Jose: 3B Brian Bocock: 3 for 4
San Jose: LHP Craig Clark: 7.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K--2 HR
San Jose: RHP Dan Turpen: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 3 K
Bocock had three of the Giants' eleven hits, raising his AVG to .225. The other two Giants with mutli-hit lines were Posey and Gillaspie. Posey's 10th and 11th doubles raised his AVG back above .300. Gillaspie's two hits, including his 8th double, raised his AVG to just .257.
Clark matched his longest start of the season with 7.0 IP. With 6 K and 0 BB, he raised his K/BB ratio above 8.00. Turpen struck out three of the seven batters he faced, and two more scoreless innings lowered his ERA to 0.68.
A-: Augusta had a scheduled off-day

My adopted son Matt Downs . Ranked as the 24th best prospect in the Giants farm system by Baseball America !!
Some roster move notes:
C.J. Ziegler and Ryan Lormand have been promoted to San Jose.
Vladimir Frias has been sent down to Augusta.
I doubt any of these moves will have much effect on either team. Lormand will bring some depth to the middle infield and over at third, but Ziegler will have to fight Ambort for time as the backup first baseman.
Frias will likely slide into third base in Augusta. Adrianza and Culberson have short taken up, and Perez is filling the space at second base. Mazzola, listed as a third baseman on the roster, has actually been spending more time in the outfield and at first, and I don’t expect to see him start getting the third base time.

Actually Culberson hasn’t made an appearance at SS this year, so I imagine he’s moved off there for good except in emergency cases. Lormand had made several starts at SS, so that’s probably the same roll Frias will fill — spot starts at SS and the occasional fill in elsewhere.
Ambort hasn’t played in 10 days and is currently listed on SJ’s Reserve roster. I assume he’s got an injury of some sort — any scoop on it?
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

I've never been happier to have Crabs
does he throw a sinker ball?
That 2.30 GB/FB ratio is pretty ridiculous. Also awesome is the fact that he rarely issues walks.
Here is some info I googled:
Drafted late in 2006, Maday didn’t make his pro debut until 2007 because he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He throws an 88-91 MPH running fastball and an 80 MPH slider with good command of both. He keeps the ball in the yard, having allowed only 10 home runs in nearly 190 minor league innings.
The Giants aren’t worried about moving Bocock to 3B on account that his bat can play anywhere.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
San Jose: 3B Conor Gillaspie: 2 for 4, 2B
San Jose: 3B Brian Bocock: 3 for 4
Looks like San Jose has adopted the Tampa Bay defense.

Brandon Crawford
For the love of Bonds, please, PLEASE be for real!
Original member of the Van Buren Boys
what legitimate prospects do the Giants have?
MadBum and Alderson are obvious, as is Posey.
Where do we stand on the rest? Let’s define “prospect” as someone that can hopefully be a starter within the next few years.
Jesus? The stats look good, but so did Ish’s last year. Is he for real?
Downs? I admit to knowing nothing about the guy prior to this year.
Rohlinger? Stats look nice so far, but he was pretty awful on the Giants last year and he looked a little small for his uniform.
Crawford? I sure hope so. premium position and all.
Gillespie? I hope so, but at what position?
Bowker? see above
anyone else? Pucetas, perhaps?
if a few years means 2011 or 2012, then I think AnVil has to be included as a prospect. And if that’s the case, Neal and Kieshnick have to be included in the discussion based on their early season performances.
As for Rohlinger, he put on a bunch of muscle this offseason. He probably won’t be a starter, unless Pablo is moved back to catcher or first base…Of course, if he keeps hitting, you never know.
Downs seems to profile as a super-utility guy with some pop. He plays all over the place, so I’m not sure he really has a position.
Crawford – if he keeps hitting like this, he’ll be in the majors by next year.
Bowker – I still believe in him if he sticks to the OF, but he’s more of a 4th OF type.
Gillaspie – He seems to be struggling this year, but it’s still early. Early reviews aren’t that good.
Jesus – he can sure hit, but his defense might not play here. He’ll be up this year, though.

ah, thanks. Any thoughts on Noonan?
Do we have any pitchers that can project?
I cannot believe I forgot about Villalona (Spanish for “fields with his bat”).
Noonan’s facing the first real slump of his career. I’m not worked up about it. GINATS BRAS love him still. He’s young and has a lot of growing to do as a ballplayer. He’s only a few years out of HS.

Tons of interesting pitchers
Henry Sosa, Jorge Bucardo, Wilbur Bucardo, Kevin Pucetas, Scott Barnes, Jesse English, Joe Martinez, Aaron King, Waldis Joaquin, Jose Casilla, and probably a few more. Most of these guys probably have ceilings in the #3 – #5 range, but those are pretty useful.

What’s the word with him for the future? Is he going to just be a reliever, or do they have plans to make him a starter at some point?

Have you ever typed out a long reply and then you accidentally hit cancel instead of reply? Yeah, I just did that.
The gist: he didn’t fare well as a starter in college and I haven’t heard anyone talking about moving him to the rotation. He doesn’t have classic closer stuff (he throws a slider and his fastball tops out in the low 90s), but he’s been impressive when I’ve seen him pitch for San Jose and he looks like someone who could be a useful cog in the bullpen. Keith Law loves him.

The word is he’s on a pitch count because the org doesn’t want to tax him in his first pro season. But one of my sources in player personnel sees him as the closer of the future.

I can definitely see him being good enough to be the closer. My only question is whether management would give a young non-power pitcher a shot at closing.

Have we forgotten AnVil already?
I realize it’s still early in his career (same with Adrianza and RafRod) but they could potentially all be starters in a few years.
There’s no position question with Bowker, the only question is whether he can produce enough offensively to claim a starting outfield spot.

Joe, we December and Jan. on this. Go to a San Jose game if you’re anywhere in Calif and watch Villalona at first, Thomas Neal in left, Klieshnick in right, Noonan hitting against righties and playing second.
Pitching is so stacked they released Cowart who has potential. Includes less-famous starters like Henry Sosa, Clark, Maday, Snyder; relievers such as Quirarte, TJ Brewer.

How is Podermo doing for the Fathers?
I was a little disappointed he wasn’t good enough to make the Giants.
Sosa is in Connecticut. He’s another pitcher that will probably end up on the big club in the next few years, assuming he stays healthy and isn’t dealt. At this point, I’d say he’d be a swing starter/long reliever type and eventually work his way up to the short reliever in 7th or 8th inning.

Over the offseason, when we were doing our community prospect list, there was a big debate over who was the bigger prospect, Noonan or Gillaspie. The early returns are clear: it’s Crawford.

it would be interesting to revisit the list. Crawford (no. 14) and has clearly worked his way into the top 10 and probably is at the number 5 spot right now and ahead of Noonan. Guys that were ahead of him have clearly dropped down or off the list (TI) (10. SP Kevin Pucetas 11. 1B Travis Ishikawa, 12. OF Wendell Fairley, 13. SP Scott Barnes).
Other players outside the top 15 who have clearly improved their stock so far would include: Neal (19), Guzman (20), Downs (22), and Quirarte (27).
Also, Rohlinger should definitely be on the list and I said so at the time.

I disagree about Rohlinger
He’s putting up a ~800 OPS in the PCL as a 25 year old, and that’s with a pretty healthy BABIP.

sure, but it is his first stop at that level. I’m not putting him into the top 10, but he’s in the top 30 and can still turn out to be useful major leaguer.
I also forgot to mention your boy. He probably should be in the top 30 as well, especially since he’s now a 2b.

I was looking at Rohlinger a bit more, and his minor league defensive numbers are off the chart good, so I might be underselling him a bit. He could be a nice platooner at 2B and 3B since he seems to have a bit of trouble with RHP.
As for JCP, he probably should be in the top 30 as well, but he seriously needs to take some walks.

Regardless of performance, Ishikawa wouldn’t be on any prospects list at this point because has too many Major League plate appearances to count.

speaking of the draft, it does appear to be a bit thin, at least at the top. Other than the first pick, I’m not sure too many of those guys would have a good chance to break into the top 10 or 15 in a community ranking.

My personal list has five guys from last year’s draft – Posey, Gillaspie, Kieschnick, Crawford, and Quirarte. I doubt that’ll happen again for a variety of reasons – aside from the weak class, the system’s deeper now than it was at this time last year, and the Giants just had a really good draft last year. But I could certainly see them snagging a couple of interesting guys this year.

There’s a part of me that hopes the Giants fall out of contention early. The minor league system is so strong right now and I don’t want these guys being traded away for rental crap.
