#Angels RHP Ryan Madson will report to triple- Salt Lake Thursday to begin rehab assignment he said will last "several weeks."

 

 

 

 

Alden Gonzalez â€@Alden_Gonzalez3m

Madson said he respects the #Angels' decision, but added: "I can pitch here today and get people out. That's just how I feel."

 

 

Damn, whats going on?

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Too rich to throw a pitch.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I'm shocked. I thought for sure he was going to be called up within the next couple of days. Hopefully, he's back by the AS break.

Yep. Trade him back to the Phillies and throw in Blanton as a PTBNL.

 

Boras has tricked two teams into paying Madson money millions of dollars to not pitch for them. 

[Willy J.]

He's gonna hit 3 homers a game and pitch a no-hitter every other game.  And we're gonna go 124-0 the rest of the way and win the World Series.

 

Ryan Madson is our savior. .rejoice!

[gotbeer]

In order to be back, don't you have to have arrived once before?  

 

Good that he feels all ornery, but considering all the setbacks he's had, let's go from A to Z without skipping anything in the middle.

[Bobster7587]

Several weeks? Wow. Boo. 

[FabulousFabregas]

Just activate him, with the way our bullpen is doing if he gets shelled a few times it really doesn't matter.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I'm fine with him taking his time. He's had a few setbacks and I'm sure the team is taking the cautious approach. He's not make-or-break at this point.

[tdawg87]

It honestly makes sense. Look at how Nathan was when he came back from TJ surgery.

Yeah, the bullpen has been fine lately. No reason to rush him.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Wtf !? If he's ready, put him in there. We don't have much time left to save our ship.

Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez

Scioscia: "Ryan is very close. This is our best chance to let him catch his breath." Doesn't anticipate him being there long. #Angels

[bloodbrother]

That several weeks thing just didn't sound right

[nando714]

Madson isn't going to sink or swim or ship. The rotation and offense have got to step up

[Angel Oracle]

Did he mean to say several "days"?

Mistakes can be made via blogs.

So then it must have been "several days". Either that or it was completely wrong.

[Quinlanforthewin]

Serious question: who is the last Angels player you can remember that actually made it back from the DL before they were supposed to?  Seeing Greinke come back 3 weeks early while Weaver takes his sweet time with an injury to his non throwing arm made me wonder. 

[Stradling]

So we are now questioning Weaver's integrity or work ethic, that's pretty cool.

Isn't it

[rafibomb]

"You don't want a guy down there wasting bullets if he's ready," Scioscia said. "He does need a little work, but he doesn't need to be stretched out to 30 pitches."

 

How contradicting. 

[Stradling]

Isn't it

No, not at all. Actually its pathetic, but you know that.

I'd be willing to bet Weaver was playing through a potentially serious back injury (Just like Matt Harrison) even before he broke his elbow. His velocity was way down and he was getting lit up. Awkward fall leading to the fracture coudl well have been a result of compensating for an existing ailment.

[Quinlanforthewin]

No, not at all. Actually its pathetic, but you know that.

 

As opposed to what you add to every thread...berating every negative poster for being negative during the worst season in Angel history.  Carry on.

 

What is pathetic about me asking the question, it truly seems to me like every time we have a player go down he takes way longer to make it back than his original timetable.
