minor lines, 7/12/10

PrintHighlights from the Giants' farm: Eric Surkamp had 10 K with just 2 ER in 7.0 IP, and Chuckie Jones homered and singled twice.
AAA: Fresno had the first day of its three-day all-star break
AA: Richmond leading Altoona 6-3 suspended in the 4th inning
Richmond: 1B Brandon Belt: 2 for 3, 2B
Richmond: RF Clay Timpner: 2 for 2, 2B
Richmond: SP Craig Westcott: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
Richmond: SP Tim Alderson: 3.0 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 K--1 HB
Belt and Timpner each had two hits, including a double.
Neither starter--Westcott for the Giants affiliate or Alderson, the former Giant now with the Pirates--pitched that effectively.
A+: San Jose lost to Lake Elsinore 5-1
(after the game was scoreless through five inning)
San Jose: CF Francisco Peguero: 1 for 3, BB, SB
San Jose: 2B Charlie Culberson: 1 for 4, HR, SO
Lake Elsinore: 1B Cody Decker: 2 for 4, 2 HR, SO
San Jose: SP Eric Surkamp: 7.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 10 K--1 HR, 1 HB
San Jose: RP Ryan Verdugo: 2.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K--2 HR
Culberson's solo HR in the 9th inning prevented the shutout. With one of the Giants' four hits and one of their three walks, Peguero was their only hitter to reach base twice. He also had his 30th SB. Decker, whom the Padres selected in the 22nd rounder last year out of UCLA after he led the Pac-10 in HRs, had his 18th and 19th HRs of the year.
Surkamp followed up on the career-high 14 K in his previous start with another double-digit strikeout performance, raising his K/BB above 5.00. For the season, he now has 106 K vs 21 BB in 99.0 IP. Verdugo was ineffective in his fourth Cal League appearance.
A-: Augusta defeated Kannapolis 4-3
(rallying for two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning)
Augusta: 2B Ryan Cavan: 0 for 4, 3 SO
Augusta: DH Tommy Joseph: 0 for 4, 3 SO
Augusta: C Hector Sanchez: 2 for 4
Augusta: 3B Juan Martinez: 3 for 4
Augusta: SP Craig Clark: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K--1 HB
Martinez and Sanchez combined for five of the GreenJackets' nine hits, raising their respective AVGs to .241 and .287. By contrast, Joseph and Cavan each had the oh-fer with the hat trick.
The box score suggests that Clark's third start since returning from the DL was his best yet.
ssA: Salem-Keizer defeated Tri-City 6-2
Salem-Keizer: DH Brock: 2 for 4, 2 2B, SO
Salem-Keizer: 1B Carlos Quintana: 3 for 3, BB
Salem-Keizer: SP Kevin Couture: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K--1 HR
Quintana reached base in all four plate appearances. Although he tends to hit last in the lineup, his OBP of nearly .380 and SLG a bit over .400 is more consistent with what might be expected of a leadoff hitter. Brock had the 3rd and 4th doubles of his pro career.
After four relief appearances, Couture has been very effective in both his starts. He did allow the solo HR, but that was just one of two batters over the minimum as he also had a 12/2 GO/FO line.
R: Giants defeated Padres 11-1
Scottsdale: CF Chuckie Jones: 3 for 4, HR, SB
Scottsdale: 1B Brice Cutspec: 2 for 4, HR, SO, E
Scottsdale: SP Lorenzo Mendoza: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K
Jones had his 4th HR, and Cutspec his 2nd HR as they combined for half of the rookie Giants' ten hits.
The 18-year-old Mendoza had his best start of the year, with this being his first start without an earned run and with the 6 K doubling his previous season high. On the down side, the 3 BB doubled his season total.
DSL: Giants lost to Marlins 5-2
Dominican: 3B Cristian Paulino: 2 for 4, 2 SO
Dominican: RF Leonardo Fuentes: 0 for 4, 4 SO
Dominican: RP Luis Utria: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K--1 HR
Paulino (18.10 y.o.) had two of the Gigantes' five hits. With the sombrero, Fuentes (17.7 y.o.) has struck out in half his at bats (16 of 32) over his last nine games (which is a quarter of his season so far given appearances in 36 games). Utria (17.10 y.o.) made his fifth relief appearance of the season, and he has pitched at least four innings in all of them.

Surkamp is tough to gauge because of his age playing in A+, why hasn’t he been promoted to AA? Anyone know?

Same reason he was never promoted to SJ last year. I don’t know what that reason is, mind you, but i suspect it’s the same one.

I am really falling in love with Chuckie Jones. 3 for 3 with another HR tonight gives him a slash line of .333/.356/.738. AZL stats are nigh on meaningless, it’s true, but they don’t make a league where a 17 year old with a .405 ISO isn’t impressive.

i share your proclivity there, but the subject doesn’t not unagree with the verb there as well.

hmm… I had to read it about three times myself before I could figure out what the subject and verb were, but once I got through the thicket of subordinate clauses it looks like I’m left with “they don’t make” as a folksy idiom for “there isn’t”, in which case the appropriate verb should really have been “ain’t” rather than “isn’t.”
Nice catch.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned an AZL player in the “highlights” previously this season, but I decided that AZL stats are meaningful enough for a 17-year-old like Jones that I couldn’t exclude him just because he is playing at a low level when that is actually his age-appropriate level. That said, I’m not saying that AZL stats are that predictive for high schoolers, or at least they did not prove to be good predictors in 2002 about Matt Cain and Jesse English.
It’s definitely a league where you wait to hear what the scouts think. But I agree his age appropriateness makes the numbers more interesting. Would like to see fewer whiffs though.

I agree with the whiffs comment, anything over 20% is troubling. It is interesting to note though, that a large percentage of his Ks have come in only 2 games (5 of 11). Also, 9 of his 11 Ks have come away from Scottsdale, so maybe he just needs time to get adjusted to the backgrounds in those other ballparks. Finally, 5 of his 11 Ks have come in his last 5 games, when he’s hit all 4 of his HRs, so maybe he’s swinging from the heels a bit since he’s started hitting bombs.

You may be right. If he maintains his power though, as he climbs the ladder, I’m sure they’ll be happy to move him to RF, but if his bat sputters then I think they’ll try to keep him in CF.

how does his speed grade out?
by TimLaser and MattyC on Jul 13, 2010 3:21 PM PDT up reply actions
He's supposed to have plus speed
Here’s a pertinent quote from mlb.com on the day he was drafted:
At 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, Jones certainly has a Major League frame, despite not turning 18 until June 28. Jones — the 2010 Gatorade Missouri Baseball Player of the Year after hitting .525 with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs — also has the speed to roam vast outfields.
It was those qualities that attracted the Giants to Jones, along with the other three center fielders the team took with its first 10 picks — Cal State Fullerton’s Gary Brown (No. 24), Virginia’s Jarrett Parker (No. 74 overall) and Jones Country Junior College’s Christopher Lofton (No. 288 overall).
“We took guys who were athletic and had speed, and that was the combination we were looking for, but they also — even though they’re different types of players — they were athletic and had speed,” Giants scouting director John Barr said. “When you think about the situation in developing players in [AT&T Park], center field or right field, there’s a lot of territory to cover.”
Tim Edwards, Jones’ high school coach, said he has no doubts that Jones can play well at the professional level. Although other teams scouted him — Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, along with San Francisco and St. Louis — and considered Jones to be as high as a fifth-round talent, Edwards said he believes had Jones grown up in a baseball hotbed such as Florida, California or Texas, his Draft stock would have been even higher.
“As a player goes, Chuckie is an incredible athletic talent,” Edwards said. "He has all the skills to play baseball at the highest level. "
As you can see, Barr already sees the possibility that guys like Parker and Jones cuold move to RF if their bats respond.

Didn’t see this mentioned, but Bobby Haney, the 21.11 year old shortstop from the (NCAA champs) Univ. of South Carolina that the Giants drafted in the 22nd round, had his pro debut last night in the AZL. He started at SS and was 1-4 with a single and 1 K. Let’s hope he has a more successful season than the much higher-picked Carter Jurica is currently having in S-K.
