Brad Lidge On Track To Return before May

[JesRey]

PHILADELPHIA -- Brad Lidge is nearing a return to the Philadelphia Phillies, though he may not immediately assume his closer role.

I wouldn't let him be the closer right away. He would have to earn his job back slowly after returning from an injury.

Brad Lidge seems to have one good year than one off year. He was one of the best closers in the league a two years ago.

Based on his stats the past five seasons, he should be due for a good year.

2005 - 42 Saves and 2.29 ERA
2006 - 32 Saves and 5.28 ERA
2007 - 19 Saves and 3.36 ERA
2008 - 41 Saves and 1.95 ERA
2009 - 31 Saves and 7.21 ERA
