naw, melancon has some pretty sick stuff, he'll do fine
does suck that bailey is hurt already, he's got a rep for being fragile but damn.

never trade for or sign a pitcher that beane has had his hands on. the only exception is hudson, but it took him 1-2 years to get back to normal. here are a few for example:
mulder
zito
harden
cory lidle
ted lilly
billy koch

Did Billy Beane teach Cory Lidle how to fly?

When Bard gets shelled they can just send him back to the pen to set up Melancon.

Hudson's the only exception? What about Isringhausen and Street? Haren?

Harden was already broken down when Beane traded him, Lilly actually did better once he left Oakland, and Lidle was noteworthy only for one great month on the mound and for his flying skills.

Aceves named closer. I think its a mistake. that dude is so solid as the long reliever/spot starter/7th inning guy. who fills that role?

Oh wait....


I figured they'd at least give Melancon a shot at it.
