The MLB All-Star Game is less than a month away and two Giants -- Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford -- are currently leading their position groups in fan voting to start for the National League. Down on the farm, prospects are already representing their teams in the MidSummer Classic.
In total, eight Giants prospects -- three from the Augusta GreenJackets and five from the San Jose Giants -- participated in All-Star Games on Tuesday night. The five from San Jose represented the North in the California League All-Star Game and the three from Augusta represented the South in the South Atlantic All-Star Game.
Here's how all eight fared for the Noth and South:
Augusta GreenJackets, South Atlantic League All-Star Game
Manuel Geraldo, SS: Geraldo started at shortstop for the South and batted sixth in the lineup. The 21-year-old had a great night going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a solo home run to lead off the seventh inning, giving the South an 8-3 lead. Geraldo is batting .284 on the year with eight home runs and 16 stolen bases.
