Brandon Lyon Out For Season

Written by Baqqs on 11:30 AM

This news marks the end of your very down season regarding Lyon. Houston GM Ed Wade required quite a bit of flak for signing Lyon to some three-year, $15 million deal two winters ago. That was followed by a relatively rocky beginning, as the 35-year old right-hander had to immediately go on those with disability list and miss the beginning of the 2010 season with a cysts in his throwing shoulder. Signed as the closer heading into that season, Lyon was changed early on by Matt Lindstrom.

Lyon has been excellent in his setup part, throwing efficiently and not quitting runs. Unfortunately, Lindstrom couldn't hold onto the closer's role because of injuries and wildness, leaving the door open for Lyon to slide back into the ninth inning. He took advantage and closed the season strong, preserving 20 games by the end associated with 2010.
