Despite a worrisome MLB debut in which he gave up six runs in five innings, Tigers rookie Troy Melton came back with a vengeance in his second start, when he pitched seven scoreless and struck out five. Reese Olson's season ended just a few days before Melton's second start, so the rookie looked like the perfect replacement.
Just a few days later, however, the Tigers' trade deadline brought Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton to Detroit, and the team announced their intention to move Melton to the bullpen indefinitely.
With the way things have panned out for both, this looks like an entirely regrettable decision.
