Angels Designate Gary Brown For Assignment

By Jeff Todd | June 1, 2015 at 6:14pm CDT

The Angels have designated outfielder Gary Brown for assignment, the club announced. His 40-man spot was needed for left-hander Edgar Ibarra, who will be called up for his first big league action.

Brown, once a first-round pick of the Giants, received a brief look at the big league level last year in San Francisco. He was twice being designated for assignment this spring, claimed first by the Cardinals and then the Angels.

It has been a tough year thus far for Brown, who owns a .202/.254/.331 slash in 136 plate appearances at Triple-A. He has also succeeded in just two of six stolen base attempts. The Cal State-Fullerton product looked like a quick mover after his first full year as a pro, but has never quite mastered the upper levels of the minors.

As for Ibarra, who turned 26 yesterday, his first season with the Angels organization has been a good one. Long a Twins minor leaguer, Ibarra owns a 2.25 ERA through 24 frames at Triple-A, with an excellent 10.9 K/9 against 1.9 BB/9. Those strikeout-to-walk numbers both represent career-bests.

    I bet the Orioles pick this guy up. Their outfield outside of Jones has been pretty bad. Classic Dan Duquette pickup too.

      Well if the Orioles picked him up, I doubt they’d put him in the major league outfield, as three teams didn’t see him worthy of a AAA outfield spot

    This to me may be a case of Peds. His Super year was 2012. Nothing remotely equal to that since. So many 1 or 2 year wonders in the 2011-2013 time period that are complete washouts.

    Someone will claim this guy. He was good in limited action as a September call up in 2014 for SF. He just needs an extended chance from a struggling team who can afford to play him. Colorado comes to mind with Barnes and Stubbs being sub-par so far this season. Philadelphia and Milwaukee come to mind as well. Obviously would head to AAA first.

      He has got his extended chance in the minor for a few years and he couldn’t even excel in AAA level baseball. It’s time for this guy to quit baseball.

      He had like 7 at bats with the Giants in 2014. That’s an incredibly small sample size to make any judgment on him. The fact is that Brown is a bust and will be lucky to even be a team’s 4th outfielder at this point.

    I will be interested to see how Ibarra does in the majors. The Twins never gave him a chance despite some really good years in the minors.

    As a giant s fan I was rooting for this guy. Hid best season came on the hitter friendly California league. After that he failed to make the adjustments to hot higher level pitching. He is still young so I would assume another team will give him a look. Good luck gary hope you figure it out

      Seems like a good kid in the interviews I have seen of his. I still like his skill set and think that he can be a a Blanco type of contributor, good OF defense plus some offensive skills, just not enough to start regularly. I still hope the Giants can get him back, but he will probably end up with an LA team once he passes waivers, finally, cannot see another team grabbing him after all these DFAs.
