Matt Brown showed he could hit for power and average at Double-A Arkansas this season. The third baseman batted .293 with 19 home runs and 79 RBIs in 134 games for the Travelers.
Brown has had five multihit efforts in 12 games in the Arizona Fall League. He went 3-for-4 against Grand Canyon on Nov. 1 to raise his average to .356. Brown has one homer and five RBIs with 11 runs scored against the Rafters.
Brown and six other Angels prospects are playing for the Scorpions. Here's how they fared from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1 in the AFL:
OF Bradley Coon -- Coon was added to the roster to take the place of Terry Evans on Oct. 26. He went 2-for-3 on Oct. 28 against the Saguaros, but those were his only hits in four games. Coon does have five walks and at least one stolen a base in each game he has played.
RHP Rich Thompson - Thompson pitched a perfect inning against Grand Canyon on Oct. 26, but was reached for two runs on three hits in an inning against the Javelinas, raising his ERA to 15.12 ERA.
RHP Matt Wilhite - Wilhite issued two walks and yielded a hit to hand the Saguaros a run on Oct. 28. He retired all four Javelinas he faced in his next outing on Oct. 31, lowering his ERA to 5.87.
C Bobby Wilson - Wilson went 1-for-6 in two appearances this week and walked three times. An 0-for-3 effort against the Javelinas on Oct. 31 dropped his bating average to .289, the first time it's been below .300 this season.
LHP Daniel Davidson - Davidson's struggles continued in his third start. Against Grand Canyon on Oct. 26, he gave up five runs on seven hits in three innings. Davidson struck out six and walked one.
RHP William Edwards - Edwards retired the side in order against the Javelinas on Oct. 30, lowering his ERA to 3.68. Opponents are hitting .154 against him.
