On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary:
#1 Amaury, the San Francisco Giants LeMonte Wade Jr is a player that the Giants are looking for the Wade to help in centerfield and Wade who hits left would play the outfield corners when a right handed pitcher is going against the Giants and Mauricio Dubon who hits right would then play center.
#2 Giants manager Gabe Kaplin said he likes the way that Wade gets a jump on the ball when playing shortstop and wanted to get a solid back up at the shortstop position backing up starter Brandon Crawford.
#3 In right field Buddy Reed an Oakland A’s prospect fielded a hot shot towards the line that Reed turned and threw to home plate to gun down the Los Angeles Dodgers Matt Beaty and Reed also threw out a runner at third with a throw from right field as well.
#4 A’s manager Bob Melvin is also taking a look at shortstop Nick Allen who made a grab up the middle preventing a base hit and ran towards the foul line for a wind blown pop up that he caught.
#5 Melvin and pitching coach Scott Emerson are looking forward to working with Sean Murphy again who will be returning after having collapsed lung surgery. Murphy was seen playing catch on Saturday. Melvin said they want to go slow on his return and he said he won’t take any hitting preventing any tear in the scar from the surgery.
