How Giants' top 5 prospects following 2011 season turned out

A speedy outfielder taken 24th overall out of Cal State Fullerton, Brown did end up getting a ring with the Giants. He had seven at-bats in 2014 but was DFA'd the next spring and bounced around the minors and independent ball before retiring in 2017.

But when this list came out, Brown looked like a future star. He had hit .336 for San Jose in 2011, with 14 homers, 34 doubles, 13 triples and 53 stolen bases. Entering 2012, Brown was a consensus top 50 prospect, but he stalled in the upper minors.

Brown and his wife are now raising twins and he stayed involved with the game.
