Jag asked me to have us look at him and his eligibility for the postseason. Here's his rotoworld link and you guys can fish up some more information on him as well.

Tough call. Not pitching the last 19 games of September is pretty much a DL trip. Problem is they didn't "shut him down for the season", he just wasn't ready to come back by the end.

I'm going to err on the side of saying that he shouldn't be available--rather than guessing when guys would have come back, it's better to say whether they would have gone out. For example, in Lewis' case we were ruling whether or not he would have gone out for the season had they been in the race, as opposed to whether or not he would have come back from an injury had they been in the race.

The talk about Braden on the radio out here was that he was unable to participate.

After looking at this again along with our previous precedent, JP and I voted Yes.
