channellcat Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 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.

SSH2005 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Latest News Mar. 29, 2005 - 10:10 pm et 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.

channellcat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I got the feeling that some of the Knights weren't his biggest fans last year either..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
