Feb 17, 2014 11:38 AM
With Brad Lidge injured, the Phillies are deciding between Ryan Madson and Jose Contreras as his replacement.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee agree they need to pick one man to fill the job.
"Consistency," Dubee said. "Guys are more comfortable when they're slotted into a role. It's preparation. You know when your time is coming. When you're grabbing at straws, guys are a little leery about what's going on. You like to have that back end set up."
