Ryan Madson out for year

Newly acquired Cincinnati Reds Closer Ryan Madison will miss the 2012 Season due to a torn ligament in his right elbow

Big loss for the Red Legs

Saw this today and it sucks!!!!

^ Ditto, I saw this and could not help but think of the deals that have burned the reds over the last couple of years. They go out this year and make more moves than they have in the past five seasons combined, and luck will have it that none work out.

^Ditto back!

It definitely sucks.

However, I still think our bullpen will be solid.

Sean Marshall will likely be the new closer and Chapman will head back to the bullpen.

Rumor is Cailey goes to the bullpen and Chapman goes to rotation.

**Mr. Pike Central** · 03-26-2012, 04:59 PM

I doubt it...

Bailey takes a very long time to get loosen up.

Yeah, this sucks!!! I really hope that Sean Marshall is able to come through this season!

I think Chapman should be the closer.

Tough loss for the Reds. I think Marshall will do fine, but you still hate to spend all that money on a closer that doesn't take the mound once for you.

Who will close it out for the Reds since Madsen is out?
