were discussing new deals and trades during this offseason and said jocketty is very close to adding brad lidge to this bullpen.

said it wasn't official but they were in talks. think about this: lidge to close and marshall to set up man??? WOW! talk about a dynamic duo.

I'd rather have Madsen.

Brad Lidge on a minor league deal I can deal with, but to bank on Lidge as your closer... nope, no thanks.

Amazing how Lidge could be the BEST closer you ever saw to the WORST closer you ever saw from one day to another. (Bruce Sutter was the best I ever saw - besides that Yankee reliver - :))
