For lovers of exciting promotion news, 2023 has been a good year! And, as expected, yesterday we got another big one pushed up, as the official Giants Prospect twitter account broke the news that the club has, indeed, taken pity on the hitters of the NWL and promoted Carson Whisenhunt to Double A. It was pretty clear that yesterday was the crowning act of the 2nd rounders’ short career at that level and a new challenge was needed for his development.
But one lift ain’t enough, jack, you better make it three! er…two! SFGProspects also announced that Whisenhunt would be taking Jose Cruz (who himself had a terrific outing Wednesday with 4 Ks in his own scoreless outing) along with him.
But, you know, maybe it really is three moves after all. Because I can see one more domino ready to drop to complete that chain — which we’ll discuss in today’s Minor Lines!
HITTER of the NIGHT: Luis Matos (Sac) 4 for 6, HR (4), 2b (11), 1 R, 4 RBI, K
PITCHER of the NIGHT: Randy Rodriguez (Rich), 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
All that and I haven’t even mentioned Reggie Crawford taking the bump again, or Luis Matos making a triumphant return to the Pacific Northwest, or …. well… let’s just get into it!
