I did not see a thread in this forum to discuss Brandon.
After sporting a 3.26 FIP and 2.87 xFIP in his first 10 appearances (13 IP) back, I believe he warrants some conversation. I have a few questions that interest me in regards to Brandon's future.
Since Chattanooga's season is winding down and Louisville and Chattanooga out of the playoff hunt, could we see Brandon go down a level or two to pick up more innings at an affiliate that is in the playoff hunt? Could we see him on the AFL team? Can he be sent to the minors after Spring Training next year without clearing waivers?
It would be great to see Brandon back in the bigs and contributing in a future Reds' bullpen.
