I'm seriously starting to believe it is a contract thing. Clagett doesn't look to be one of the elite bullpen guys, just a good one. So paying him a few years from now if he deserves it will be a lot easier. Holding Melancon for another month or so would allow them to keep him an extra year before arbitration I believe. -Jitpal

Expect Melancon up after May 15th if they're pulling the hold back arbitration stunt.

uhh why is claggett getting called up over tomko?

The other factor is Melancon is not on the 40 man. I bet he only comes up once Nady gets put on the 60 day DL. -Jitpal

As someone from Bergenfield who's cousins and brothers grew up with Ron Villone...the answer is a definitive yes and they did the same thing to Villone one year by cutting his innings or something just to keep from paying him a bonus.
