Mammoth Browns Free Agent Signings


If you have been following the SoCal Knights lately, you will have heard that they have been sold and the franchise has been moved.  John Fredriksen is the new owner of the SoCal Knights and one of the first things the new owner did was he moved the team to Mammoth ,CA and appropriately renamed the team to the Mammoth Browns.

The Mammoth Browns management team wanted to make it clear that although the team was abruptly moved to another city that they are still dedicated to the original fans, and will continue to field a competitive team every year.

The Browns had some major holes to fill in Catcher, 2nd Base, and Outfield.  The Browns are proud to announce that we have added A.J. Pierzynski , Mark Ellis, and Angel Pagan.

A.J. Pierzynski solidifies the need for a catcher as the Browns had backup catchers Hank Conger and Tony Cruz.  Pierzynski was signed to a three year deal and brings tremendous experience needed to catch the quality pitching staff that the Browns have.  Pierzynski will bring the following stats to the already potent Browns offense.

Mark Ellis was a much needed addition to the infield as the Browns were missing that go to everyday gold glove, with the ability to give you a solid at bat.  Ellis will be bringing the following stats to the team this upcoming season.

The Browns needed an outfielder that could compliment Andre Ethier, Jason Werth with Niger Morgan rotating in the outfield to give days offs to the starters.  The Browns signed Angel Pagan which will give you a true centerfielder along with speed and average at the plate.  The Browns can expect to get the following production from Pagan.
