OK, since the S.F. Giants are dead to me now until the off season, all my attention is on Eugene and Richmond.
I did see "Rehab Assignment" on Luciano's MiLB site profile, so it seems he'll get at least a couple more weeks of games this season. The question is at what level? Before being injured he was ready to follow Harrison to Richmond. Will he go back to Eugene? Will they promote him to Richmond? I don't see how sending him back to Eugene would make sense if he was close to being promoted before getting injured. Even if he were to struggle in Richmond, the season will only last a couple more weeks, so big whoop if he struggles. And sort of the point, what could be gained by going back to Eugene? Maybe play in the playoffs?
That sort of brings us to Vaun Brown. Just based on the stats, dude is absolutely dominating, and now he even has slightly better numbers in Eugene than San Jose. Given Brown is older than Juan Soto, does it make sense to move him to Richmond for the last couple weeks? Should we expect another promotion, or might they want him to be in Eugene for playoffs too?
Richmond tied for winning the first half and is stinking in the second half, so don't know if they will be in the playoffs or not. Obviously, the Giants need Brown and Luciano to be ready for them ASAP, so any time they can get to a level closer to the Giants seems like a good idea.
