Poll Results: Melancon should start season in The Bronx

Relief pitcher Mark Melancon is one of the guys fighting for a spot in the Yankees bullpen in spring training. In my latest weekly poll, 51 percent of the fans voted he would make the team.

Melancon posted a 3.86 ERA last year in 13 games with the Yankees. He did not make the postseason bullpen.

Remember, this is a guy who was brought up as a reliever in the minors, and the Yankees organization has a lot of confidence in this guy.

If the season began today, I would side with the fans.
