Madson unlikely to return to Philly, Angels interested

the angels haven't have good luck any reliever aside from lee smith, nobody has been able to a conssistent and depenable closer FUENTES as a closer fail/rodney as a closer fail/ and madson is unlikely to be the right piece for the halos, know why?? he is a injuried pron-player and very difficult to guarantee any good contribution for the team,,,,

lets not forget madson agent is boras, and with boras attach a hefty contract even with the past surgery on madson elbow madson agent would ask top dollar deal for this guy,,unless if the halos add some clause where specify IF MADSON UNABLE TO PERFORM A 100% THEN THE CONTRACT MOST BE VOIDED, this type of agreements would protect both sides!!!

angels would need to be very desperate team or had run out of any other options to even think to sign a injury-prone player!!

and soriano wouldn't be the right option either, BORAS is a block between the free agent soriano and the interested teams!!!

its just funny how things turn in anaheim in the closer spot, those players DO come with higher expectations but unable to achieve any goals at all!!!

boras would like to give any team the best impression towards madson availability and healthy arm without any little problem at all, the question here is, its madson completely healed from his late surgery? and if so how can he guarante any amount of playing time?? remember when you sign a contract you should be able to perform your position as a player a 100% IF not best thing is to wait UNTIL things are completely clear and free from any farther damage!!

the halos would be better off by working hard on WALDEN AND FREIRI to develope them to a more conssistent in the closer positions,the angels shouldn't quit so earlier in this two tough relievers as is FREIRI AND WALDEN with a little adjustment in their arm angle may do the trick who knows??

If the Angels acquire a good closer, then the rest of the bullpen can assume their set roles.

The question is, is Madsen a good closer, especially after surgery?

There may be better options. Or, he could be the answer. With relievers, it's a crapshoot.

He stuck it to the Reds last year, so be weary of him and sign him to a one year deal with incentives.

I agree, 1 Year with a Team Option for 2!

He must have gained a lot of weight, he looks really WIDE in that wonderful photo.

Somebody smushed him in-between their fingers.
