I like Melancon. Young, throws mid 90s, good curve. He was the main part in the Yankees trade for Lance Berkman a couple of years ago. Had Tommy John a few years ago, but he's past that (and over some minor league control problems). Don't think he was ever a starter though, not even in college.
Always had a soft spot for Lowrie though ...
