| Melancon thriving since demotion: Red Sox reliever Mark Melancon has been thriving since his demotion to Triple-A Pawtucket. Melancon has allowed just one run on 11 hits and two walks in 15 innings (0.60 ERA). He also hasn't allowed a home run, struck out 23 batters, held the opposition to a .193 average and has six saves.

| Fantasy Analysis |
| It seems the Red Sox's decision to demote Melancon to the minors is paying off. He has been able to get back to the basics and appears to have solved his early-season woes. But no matter how well he is pitching, he isn't in the majors yet because the Red Sox don't have a need for a reliever right now. The bullpen is hitting on all cylinders. That's not to say Melancon won't eventually return to the bullpen, but obviously he won't see regular save chances with Alfredo Aceves thriving as the team's closer. Continue to leave Melancon off Fantasy rosters. (Updated 05/24/2012). |
