One of the CERA comparisons for which the sample sizes were too small was Melancon. But I have to show this one anyway, for laughs if nothing else.

Melancon with Lavarnway IP 11.1 ERA 1.59
Melancon with Shoppach IP 7.2 ERA 2.35
Melancon with Salty IP 26 ERA 9.35

I'm sure we all remember a few of those Melancon outings where he got bombed. Just to refresh our memories:

April 8 0.2 IP 3 ER
April 17 0.0 IP 6 ER
July 22 0.1 IP 4 ER
July 27 1.0 IP 4 ER
Aug 31 0.2 IP 4 ER

As you can probably guess, Salty was behind the plate for every one of these debacles. Weird.
