Can anyone tell me what happened to Roosevelt Brown (outfielder for the Charlotte Knights last season)? I can't find anything on their website about him. Did he get traded or released?

 

By the way.... Cool forum. I found it today and it has lots of great sox info.

Braves released outfielder Roosevelt Brown.

Brown couldn't win a bench job by going 5-for-34 this spring. No other major league club is going to want him at this late date, so he might return to Japan.

I think that's last years news. After the Braves released him, the Sox picked him up and he did really well with Charlotte last year. Up until about a week before the season started this year he was still on Charlotte's roster. I checked last night to see his stats and noticed he wasn't on the roster anymore.

He's out of American baseball....

OK thanks..

 

Any details?

I'm 99% sure he went back to Japan. I tried looking back at some of my notes and media releases and wasn't able to find out if he did ever land on somewhere and I checked through the Japanese league rosters and couldn't dig up his name.

 

He may have opted to go to an independent league, but I don't recall him ever officially hanging them up.

 

By the way, welcome aboard

I take that back. I don't think he has went back to Japan. In fact I'm pretty sure he's a FA. My guess is someone will snatch him up relatively quickly (unless he's hurt).

I got the feeling that some of the Knights weren't his biggest fans last year either.....

Thanks alot guy's. I grew up in the same town as Rosy and we played alot of ball together as kids. He always had amazing talent. I try to keep up with him as much as possible. If you find out anything else please let me know.

 

And again.... Awsome forum y'all got here.
