Brooks Brown - S - Pirates

Tigers acquired RHP Brooks Brown from the Diamondbacks for catcher James Skelton.

Brown, a 2006 supplemental first-round pick, has yet to develop a consistent secondary pitch and doesn't get enough grounders with his 89-92 mph fastball. He finished 6-15 with a 4.18 ERA and a 112/67 K/BB ratio in 144 1/3 innings in Double-A last season. A move to the pen might give him some additional velocity and turn him back into prospect, but we're guessing the Diamondbacks won't regret parting with him.

Brooks Brown - S - Pirates

Diamondbacks reassigned RHP Brooks Brown, RHP Hector Ambriz, RHP Barry Enright, RHP Matt Green, RHP Wes Roemer, LHP Mark Rosen, 1B-3B Jamie D'Antona, C Frank Curreri and OF Chris Rahl to minor league camp.

All easy cuts. Brown rates as one of the Diamondbacks' better prospects, but he's a long shot to see time in the majors this year. D'Antona could see time on the bench if injuries strike.

Brooks Brown - S - Pirates

Brooks Brown allowed one run in five innings Saturday in his debut for Double-A Mobile.

Brown struck out five. The 2006 supplemental first-round pick was 6-3 with a 2.81 ERA, 66 H and 74/23 K/BB in 80 IP for Single-A Visalia. The Diamondbacks intend to keep using him as a starter, but he might fit in best as a long-term setup man for the club.
