There has been talk from time to time about the Phils moving Ryan Madson from the bullpen to the rotation. Madson, a starter in the minors, won 12 games at Scranton in 2003 and 16 at Reading in 2002 with a 3.20 ERA. He also won 14 with a 2.59 ERA in the South Atlantic League in 2000.
Anyway, with Tim Worrell getting ready to make a return shortly ... and the addition of Ugie Urbina to the pen ... and the loss of Randy Wolf to the DL ... and the Phils' already suspect back of the rotation ... do the Phils consider moving Madson?
If Worrell returns to form, he can take over Madson's role because Urbina has already taken over Worrell's former role.
The other option would be to leave Madson in the pen and hope you can get 5 innings out of whatever starters you use. Then you can start bringing in Aaron Fultz, Madson, Worrell, Urbina and Wagner.
