I don't get the attention Melancon gets. He has been OK, but he is no way clearly better than Roberston. And he has pitched more innings in the majors, strikes out way more guys, and only walks a tad more than Melancon. I am not saying Melancon won't be good or anything like that, but he needs prove something first. I agree. I don’t get the attention Melancon gets.

That is a nice, versatile bullpen. So for the postseason, assuming Marte and Mitre dont make the roster, the bullpen is

And they don't really need/want a 13-man pitching staff anyway? They might send Pena back down to add Gaudin. They might send DRob or Melancon down. They might DL Bruney. We'll see.
