Any hope for Matt Brown?

I was just trying to find some information on our recent acquisition Matt Brown and the results were surprising...

I'll be the first to tell you that I follow our minor leaguers with a passion routinely questioned by my wife but I know next to nothing about the depth of other organizations (so long Baseball America opportunity).
