I skipped the gdt thread today because I was out golfing, but came home and watched.
Madson is by far our best relief pitcher and the gem of the new bullpen guys. I don't know if it is self-fulfilling prophecy, wanting to prove the advanced statheads wrong, voodoo, or what, but it seems like once you start messing with relief pitchers' roles, they fall apart. Can Madson be an Andrew Miller type guy if he's not going to be our closer? Would that make everyone happy and comfortable?
