In order to make the roster move to add Brown the Angels had to move Cory Rasmus to the 60-day disabled list. Brown, a first round pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2010 attended Cal State Fullerton in college.
After spending 5 seasons in the Giants system he went on the St. Louis Cardinals. He has yet to reach his potential as he was once rated a Top 50 prospect.
At the Triple-A level he has a shaky slash line at just .248/.305/.379. It will be interesting to see if Brown can get back on track and make it to the big league level.
