Angels Designate Brooks Pounders, Purchase Contract Of Shane Robinson

By Jeff Todd | September 8, 2017 at 6:23pm CDT

The Angels have designated righty Brooks Pounders for assignment, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports (Twitter links). His roster spot will go to outfielder Shane Robinson, whose contract was purchased. Infielder Jefry Marte has also gone on the 10-day DL with a fractured left foot.

Pounders, who’ll soon turn 27, has struggled in limited MLB action over the past two seasons. He has given up ten home runs among 36 hits over just 23 frames, with a 9.78 ERA resulting. That said, Pounders has managed a 25:8 K/BB ratio in that span, with an 11.9% swinging-strike rate. And he carries a 2.63 ERA with 8.6 K/9 against 2.6 BB/9 over his 51 1/3 Triple-A frames in 2017.

The 32-year-old Robinson saw time with the Halos earlier this year, marking his eighth big-league season, and accepted an outright assignment after being removed from the 40-man roster. He has never hit much in the majors, but owns a solid .319/.370/.425 batting line with 28 walks against 37 strikeouts over 385 plate appearances this year at Salt Lake City.

    Brooks Pounders sounds like a hamburger type. “I will have the quarter-pounder Brooks Pounders with cheese and lettuce.” “That will be $6.28 after tax, sir.” (Reaches in pocket for wallet, gives exact change.) “Brooks Pounders, cheese and lettuce, your order is ready!” (Eats Brooks Pounders decides it is a tasty hamburger.) Nehoy, Nehoy. Yeebershwargen, habeebo!

      That burger is probably awful, like it’s namesake.

      Hamburger? Uh, no. Brooks Pounders is such a perfect name for an, ahem, adult film star that I’m almost shocked there isn’t one with this name already.

    He picked the wrong sport. Brooks Pounders sounds like a great WWE stage name.
