He was coming back from a sprained ankle too, correct?  Could be that that is feeling better/he's more confident in it?

He walks a decent amount... but he also strikes out a ton.

Good to see him finally adjusting to AAA ball.

When I noticed he had climbed above .230, I thought, well, now...maybe the kid is getting started in AAA.

My quick scan of Syracuse: Brown's average dropping. He does not look like ready-help in LF.

Brown was passed over for a big league chance by Bryce Harper, and then again by Tyler Moore, but it would be a mistake just to write him off. Acquired along with Henry Rodriguez from Oakland prior to the 2011 season for Josh Willingham, Brown has plenty of tools and plenty of patience, but that comes with plenty of strikeouts. Still, Brown does more than enough around a low batting average, and after going 5-for-10 with three doubles and four walks over the weekend, he's now hitting .268/.392/.449 in 37 games. While he's not great in center, he's solid and a better up the middle defender than Harper. It would be interesting to see him get a look.

Nice, thanks. :clap: He has really performed well under the radar down in Syracuse. Could get a look in September.
