Neither of these guys is really still a "prospect", but they are both still very young (24 years old) with very bright futures. Which one would you take as a Yankees fan? Melancon began the year as the fan favorite, but both put up great numbers in AAA this year, and Robertson is striking out 35% of the hitters he faces in the majors right now (41% in June). Who would you take it you had to choose just 1?

I'd move Joba to the pen so this matters less.

Melancon started off with something like 14 straight scoreless innings then was called up and uncharacteristically gave up a lot of walks and was sent back down. when he got back down he still wasnt himself but lately he seems to be improving. he should be back up at some point this year. I think that both should be very solid relievers but obviously i'm pushing a little harder for melancon.
