Brandon Braboy has been moved into the starting rotation at Charleston, the New York Yankees' low-Class A affiliate in the South Atlantic League, which bodes well for his future in the organization. Generally, in the low minors, teams try to keep their best arms in the starting rotation.
Braboy, a Heath product in his second year of pro ball, is 2-4 with a 3.66 ERA for Charleston with an impressive 59-15 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has allowed 57 hits in 66.1 innings.
