Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has doubts about whether Brett Myers can be the team's closer.

"Watching him the three or four times we've run him out there, he's not quite ready" to be a closer, Manuel told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"He still has some problems at times. ... It's kind of like he's back in spring training. He's not 100 percent. He has soreness, which is kind of normal because he missed so much time.

"Right now, he's not ready to be turned loose."
