Ryan Madson
Relief Pitcher
Ryan Madson is an undervalued free agent. Living in the Philadelphia area, i have got to watch every game he pitched over the last 9 years. Madson has appered in close to 500 games for the Phillies, 18 of which were as a starter. Any team could use him out of the pen. Not a shutdown guy by any means, but is a pitcher that can be used in or around 70 games.
As a Scott Boras client Washington seems like a logical place to land. Boras is all about the money and has to have a deal with the Nationals to land his players there. Madson may only be worth 6 million a year, but with Scott Boras negotiating for him Madson could walk away with 15 or 16 million a year.
My Prediction: Houston Astros 4 years $38 million
I say Houston because they are taking everyone they can from the Phillies. Houston does not have a real closer. Madson shocked everyone this year by being a reliable closer in Philly. He is still young enough to fit in with the Astros, while having the experiance to help mold the team. With needing to rebuild that bullpen who better than Ryan Madson to help Melancon close?
