Quick Mark Melancon notes

November 27, 2007 by Mike 11 Comments

Yanks, Twins talkin' Santana
Who would you rather?

Do you know how to pronounce it? It’s not “Mellon-cone” as I’ve heard some say, it’s actually “Muh-lan-sin.” But I digress.

A couple of subscription pieces bring some very promising info about the righty as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. This Pinstripes Plus piece notes that he resumed throwing his breaking ball in Dominican Instructs and feels so good that he stayed a little longer than originally scheduled. This BA piece notes that the former University of Arizona closer has been invited to spend Spring Training with the big league club. That says tons about what the Yanks think of him.

If you’ve never seen the nastiness this guy brings, here’s a clip of him closing out Staten Island’s Championship win last year, and here’s his scouting video. Yay lack of news.
