Washington Nationals' Outfield Prospect Corey Brown Hitting HR's, Making Waves.



26-year-old former Oakland A's outfield prospect Corey Brown hit his 11th HR in 176 at bats Thursday night, taking 26-year-old Cleveland Indians' prospect Eric Berger deep to right on the second pitch of the bottom of the first of Brown's Syracuse Chiefs' game against the Indians' Triple-A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers. It was Brown's third home run off a left-hander this year, and his 3 for 5 night left the former Oklahoma State outfielder and second-year Nats' prospect with a .270/.426/.514 line against lefties and a .294/.399/.561 line overall on the year. Brown now has nine doubles, three triples, 11 home runs, 31 walks, 39 K's and six stolen bases in 47 games and 180 at bats. Most impressive, is the fact that Brown started the year with a .237/.349/.398 April. In his last 23 games, the left-handed hitting and throwing outfielder acquired along with Henry Rodriguez in the December 2010 trade that sent Josh Willingham to Oakland, is 31 for 87 with seven doubles, a triple and eight home runs.

"Corey was a guy that we traded [Josh] Willingham for along with Henry Rodriguez," the GM recounted, "We've had high hopes for Corey. We feel he's starting to figure it out, mostly because he's been injury free this Spring and early in the season. He's got great power. He's a great defensive center fielder and a guy who's really turned it on and made some adjustments with his approach to the plate and his swing and it seems like they're paying off. So we've always liked Corey and we feel that there's a place for him in this organization and ultimately on the ballclub."

Is there a Michael Morse, Corey Brown and Bryce Harper outfield in the Nats' future (until Jayson Werth comes back and assuming Morse can return)? Corey Brown's doing all he can to make it happen.

Yea, what he said. :ols:

I honestly don't hate the Os personally, but you really wonder why some fans are pissed? If it was up to Angelos the Nationals would not exist.

A rare first inning lead for the Nats.

probably the best 1st inning of the most important series of this early season.

For what it's worth, I hate the O's, but that mostly a function of two things. 1, I hate Peter Angelos, and 2, I'm big on wanting DC to be the dominant mid atlantic city, have regional sports dominance, etc. Similar reasoning to why Pittsburgh/Philly should hate each other, etc. It's the same reason I hate the Ravens. I want DC to be better than Baltimore in all aspects, rather than the current situation, which is "better than Baltimore in all aspects except sports" :ols:

Anyway, I have nothing against O's fans, and it's not as if I hate Baltimore more than Dallas, but I do hate the O's.

baltimore is a **** town. people from there actually thinks its a real city lol. they are lucky that their town was relevant about 100 years ago lol

if Wang really does take along time to warm up then why is he in the pen?

I am completely indifferent on the O's.

They just don't inspire much emotion in me on either side of the spectrum.

I do like Camden Yards though.

Ding-ding-****ing-ding.

I used to be an O's fan. Then I turned twelve and was able to grasp concepts like "Peter Angelos is screwing my actual hometown out of having a baseball team of its own."

I love FP. he's great!
