Melancon, Cox Promoted May 17, 2008

RHPs Mark Melancon and J.B. Cox were promoted, from A+ Tampa to AA Trenton and Trenton to AAA Scranton, respectively. Melancon, recovering from Tommy John surgery, had a 2.84 ERA in 25.1IP, allowing 26H and 6BB while striking out 20, and posting a 1.00 GO/AO ratio. Cox, also recovering from Tommy John and already having been promoted from Tampa to Trenton, posted a 1.35 ERA in 6.2IP at Trenton, allowing 3H and 2BB while striking out 6, and also posting a 1.00 GO/AO.
These numbers look particularly good considering their respective rough starts to the season. These two prospects, going at the rate they are, should be in the majors by year’s end, and have potential as solid set-up guys in the bullpen.
