PrintThursday highlights from the Giants' farm: Francisco Peguero homered and tripled among his three hits, both John Bowker and Ryan Rohlinger homered and singled, and Clayton Tanner allowed just 1 ER in 7.0 IP.
AAA: Fresno lost to Salt Lake 11-3
(after trailing 4-0 through six innings)
Fresno: LF John Bowker: 2 for 4, HR
Fresno: DH Jesus Guzman: 3 for 4, 2B
Fresno: SS Ryan Rohlinger: 2 for 3, HR, BB
Fresno: SP Daryl Maday: 4.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 0 K--2 HR
Fresno: RP Osiris Matos: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
Late in the game in mop-up time, Bowker had his 12th HR, and Rohlinger his 5th HR. Guzman's three hits, including just his 10th double, raised his AVG to .308.
Maday continues to scuffle since his promotion to the PCL. This was his shortest start but also the fewest runs he has allowed. He has also given up at least two big flies in each start. Matos's ERA has gotten a little higher each month, with his season ERA now nearly 5.00.
AA: Richmond defeated Bowie 3-2
Richmond: LF Thomas Neal: 1 for 3, 2B, BB
Richmond: RF Clay Timpner: 2 for 4, 2B
Richmond: SP Clayton Tanner: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K--1 WP
Richmond: RP Mitch Lively: 1.0 IP, 1 K
Both Neal and Timpner each had an XBH while reaching base twice.
Tanner pitched at least seven innings for the fourth time in his last six starts. His ERA is approximately 2.75 in ten starts since Memorial Day. Lively pitched a perfect 9th inning for his 2nd save.
A+: San Jose lost to Stockton 6-2
San Jose: RF Francisco Peguero: 3 for 5, HR, 2B, SO
San Jose: 1B Michael Sandoval: 3 for 4
San Jose: 3B Drew Biery: 1 for 4, HR
Stockton: SS Grant Green: 3 for 4, 2B, SH, SB
San Jose: SP Kyle Nicholson: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K--2 HR, 1 HB
San Jose: RP Jason Stoffel: 1.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Peguero remains the Giants' hottest hitter, this time with his 6th HR, 13th triple and a single. Since the Cal League's all-star break, his OPS is over 1.000 with a .384/.431/.571 line in 112 AB. Biery added his 12th HR, and Sandoval also had three hits. Green, the Athletics' first rounder a year ago, raised his AVG to .332 with three more hits, including his 27th double (which I think is more doubles than any Giants' farmhand has this year).
Nicholson had his fifth straight start with 4+ ER. Stoffel retired just two of his six batters. With nearly twice as many hits as strikeouts (122 H vs 65 K in 98.2 IP, .303 BAA), would he still make a Giants top forty prospects list?
A-: Augusta lost to Greensboro 8-1
Augusta: CF Evan Crawford: 1 for 3, 3B
Augusta: SP Jeremy Toole: 5.0+ IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Augusta: RP Chris Gloor: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 2 K
Crawford had his 12th triple as the GreenJackets' offense was limited to four hits (but three XBH) and one walk.
Toole allowed two runs through five innings but then did not retire any of his four batters in the 6th inning. Gloor allowed just one hit. He has been consistenly good throughout the season with a 2.68 ERA, and his peripheral stats are now 38 H, 22 BB, 2 HR, and 55 K in 47.0 IP.
ssA: Salem-Keizer lost to Everett 5-4 (14 innings)
Salem-Keizer: 2B Julio Izturis: 3 for 6, SH, SO
Salem-Keizer: LF Ryan Scoma: 2 for 7, HR, SO
Salem-Keizer: SP Shane Kaufman: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K--1 WP
Salem-Keizer: RP David Newton: 2.0 IP, 2 K
Scoma had his 2nd HR. Izturis's three singles raised his AVG above .300.
Kaufman's fifth pro start was his longest yet, making it his first quality start with just two runs allowed. Newton pitched a perfect 8th and 9th innings.
R: Giants at Padres postponed by rain
DSL: Giants at Yankees1 postponed by rain

ouch, Matos!
yay, Peguero! I am on the verge of officially becoming a believer.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Adopting Denny Bautista until someone tells me he's already spoken for.
I really liked him when I saw him in San Jose awhile back, but the McCoven all thought I was crazy. My comment was kind of stupid, in that, I was just going off what I saw in one game. But, I’m glad to see what he’s been doingl ately.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
well, me too, but opposite.
saw him in the season opener ‘gainst the Nuts and he looked pretty lousy. No power, didn’t like his build, lackluster in the field.
I STRAWHATT’D MYSELF!

let me google that for myself
In other Volcanoes news, right-hander Seth Rosin (1-0, 2.57 earned run average) is expected to pitch in a simulated game Friday. He has missed the past month with an elbow injury.

Rohlinger is the young, cost controlled Juan Uribe of 2011.
My Son. Dude hits inside the parkers and takes walks.
My rule for the 2010 Giants: Everyone with an OPS over .800 gets a pass.
I am a Bochy hater and a Sabean apologist.
Just looked at Bowker’s current line: .317/.399/.622/1.021
I still think they need additional depth at SS, and RyRohl is my guy, but wow. That’s pretty.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
seems like he’d be a good platoon-mate for Burrell in LF.

Yes, and Sabean wants a left handed hitter with some power, so it makes sense. To us, I mean.

I realiz that you're joking, but
Did you see what Guillen did last night? He was on 2nd base with 2 outs. HIs teammate hits a shot towards the gap in left-center. Guillen jogs toward home, and doesn’t cross the plate before his guy gets thrown out at 2B trying to stretch his single into a double. So, no run scored thanks to Guillen’s laziness.

Oh man, that kind of stuff fills me with rage!
Also, I was totally joking. Guillen’s not even a left handed hitter, for goodness sakes. I don’t know what the hell they’re doing, but I don’t want Sabean to make a trade just for the sake of saying he did something at the deadline.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
Maybe not joking...

That link isn’t working for me for some reason, but I assume you’re refrencing the comment about the Giants scouting Guillen. I had seen that, and that’s why I made the comment.
The “joke” part of it was me acting as if I was excited about the idea.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
Oh
I did not read it as excitement. More like resigned giving up.

you think wrongly
Green, the Athletics’ first rounder a year ago, raised his AVG to .332 with three more hits, including his 27th double (which I think is more doubles than any Giants’ farmhand has this year).
Brandon Belt and Juan Perez have each hit 28 for San Jose.
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Right
Belt hit 28 (in 112 fewer ABs than Green has now) before he left the Cal League, and has hit 3 in the EL, so he has 31 total now.

Ishikawa, the Topps Rookie All Star Team's First baseman. Does he get a chance in 2010?

Gloor
He’s intriguing, but he need to get control of his BBs. I would really love to see him get some starts before the season’s over. I don’t see him as a starter in the majors, but do think that stretching his innings out would have a positive long-term effect on his development. And, after all, do we really need to see Reichard get any more regular starts this year?

Mayday has not looked good in AAA at all.
Good to see Jesus, Bowker and Rohlinger continue to do well. Makes you further think was Bowker and Rohlinger could be doing for this team.

So far Velez has been Vrooming on the bench.
I have no problem with him being there, but it’s a waste of a spot.

ITA. My speculation is that they brought him up because of his SB total, because Rohlinger and Bowker are more valuable than he is in every other way. If that’s why they did it, they’re idiotic. I guess Bochy mentioned they wanted a left handed bat, which Bowker is.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
Yeah
All in all it’s pretty frustrating.

I have an irrational attachment to RyRohl, so I have been trying to be objective. But, just looking at the numbers, both defensively and offensively, he looks so much better.
Buser Posey: He knows the rules!
Objectively speaking
Everyone is better than Vroooom! and Bork is an idiot, objectively speaking of course.
Giants best trade option: Bowker for Rowand

Devin Harris promoted to S-K
The Giants have promoted RF/LF to S-K to take the place of RafRod. RafRod is supposedly ony down in Scottsdale for a rehab assignment, but I’m betting he’ll remain there the rest of this season. S-K basly needed a 4th OF, but Harris was an uninspred choice. I was hoping for Chuckie Jones or Sundrendy Windster, who are both having better seasons than Harris. I guess the Giants didn’t want Chuckie to have to share time in CF with Lofton, but that doesn’t hold true for Windster. He’s not getting regular starts in the OF for Scottsdale (about half of his starts have been at 1B), and he’s repeating the AZL this year, so he would have been the logical choice to get the promotion.

Wow Bowker hit another homerun
Maybe the Giants can trade him for a young left handed bat with power.
Giants best trade option: Bowker for Rowand
Bowker needs to be in the major leagues
If the Giants aren’t going to bring him up and play him, I wish they’d just DFA him so he can go to a team that’s out of contention and who will give him consistent ABs down the stretch. The way the Giants are handling him is killing his career.

This

And killing their chances of winning, he’s a better player than Velez, better than Rownads too, and at this point I would also say that overall better than Schierholz as well.

Is this crazy?
I feel like bringing up Bowker and platooning him with Burrell would improve the lineup.
Against RHP:
CF Torres
LF Bowker
C Posey
RF/1B Huff
3B Sandoval
SS Uribe
1B/RF Ishikawa/Schierholtz
2B Sanchez
Against LHP:
RF Torres
2B Sanchez
1B Huff
C Posey
LF Burrell
3B Sandoval
SS Uribe
CF Rowand

No, it’s not crazy at all. It’s exactly what needs to be done.
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 23, 2010 2:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Rather better . . .
. . . would be using him in RF. Burrell doesn’t need platooning so much as the team needs a major bat in RF. I still don’t know that Bowker is not AAAA, but he deserves one last try.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
If you call up Bowker and don’t platoon Burrell, then you have Torres, Bowker, Schierholtz, Rowand, and sometimes Huff for two OF spots. There is no way that Bowker would get consistent ABs in this scenario.
Plus, Burrell has a career 94 OPS+ vs. righties, while Bowker’s is 114 with better defense.

Not necessarily.
Burrell, Torres, Bowker, and Schierholtz rotate through. In a simplifed way of putting it, each plays 3/4 time. A more sophisticated rotation gives Burrell and Torres 5/6 time and Bowker and Schierholtz 2/3 time, unless Bowker grabs it with both hands and runs, in which case he can be upped slightly at Schierholtz’s expense. Huff stays where he best belongs, at 1B.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Forgot to add:
Rowand is glued to the bench as an emregancy backup in case Torres and Schierholtz each break a leg in the same game.
That’s not how Bochy would play it? True. But the minute you admit “how Bochy would use X, Y, Z” to ny discussion, that discussion necessarily grinds to a halt.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
That is way too complicated for Bochy. His idea of platooning is to keep the hitters in the exact same spot regardless of the fact that the platoon partners may be completely different types of players.
