Brandon needs to work ... on the farm

I've been of this mind since the beginning....

• At the start of the season, when he hadn't pitched enough in ST, he should have spent some time on the farm.

• After he came back from the DL, he should have had some rehab appearances on the farm - but instead he pitches in ~of all places~ ARLINGTON

• After it was decided he would be part of the rotation, he should have gotten stretched out down on the farm - but instead he makes his first start in ~ of all places, COLORADO

Brandon's stuff is there and, to his credit he doesn't get rattled. But, it just seems that the farm is the more appropriate, safer place for Brandon to work on whatever it is he needs to work (control, command, etc., etc., etc.,)
