EastCoastAgNc said:Joe Espada said today he has had conversations with Hunter Brown about his potential availability this weekend. Brown would be on three days rest for Sunday's season finale.

This would be so dumb. Just setting the team up to start in the hole next year by injuring our ace on a hopeless effort to get knocked out on the wild card round at best. I really hope Joe isn't that stupid.
Yeah, you don't risk elbow discomfort while not even controlling your own fate.
He'd then be out for the WC too unless we had discussions with him about doing it again. Hunter has been the best and most reliable player on the team this season (6.1 bWAR).
Unless the rest of the team can get us there he's done enough. I'd be fine seeing if Framber can go again, with the understanding we'd yank him at the first sign of trouble.
