I wouldn't be that surprised to see Melancon finish the year as the closer even though he's not the most skilled RP on the team. Personally, I'm not investing much in either but I wouldn't hesitate rostering Melancon for the right price (NL-only where saves are valuable).

Four Braves players have tested positive for COVID-19--Freeman, Will Smith, Pete Kozma, and Touki Toussaint.
Obviously, the most important is Freeman. Losing him for any "regular season" length of time would be crippling blow to the team's chances this year. Smith, who just signed with the Braves this off-season for three years, could also be a significant loss.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
Faith is believing what you know ain't so. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)

BTW, my offhand observation is that about 65-70% of the general population where I live is going without masks. I hate wearing one but I'm doing it.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Cole Hamels skipped a side session on Saturday due to triceps tendinitis. He has yet to face live hitters and may not be ready for opening day.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
