Melville is 2-5 with a 5.23 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 65.1 innings of work at Triple-A Toledo.

He's scuffling with a 39:32 K:BB rate which is ugly even for him. He hasn't delivered much other than a whole lot of walks in the last two seasons (100 in 194.2 innings), so he's not likely to get a call any time soon.
