[edit] Biography
Ryan graduated from Valley View High School (Riverside County) with a 3.5 GPA in 1998. His uncle, Steve Barr, was in the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers systems from 1969-1975. He was drafted by the Phillies in the 9th round (254th overall) of the 1998 amateur entry draft, the same year as fellow teammates Pat Burrell and Geoff Geary.
[edit] Pro career
Highly regarded by the Phillies ever since they drafted him, Madson got to the major league level in 2004 as a relief pitcher. In 2005, he started out well but appeared to wear down late in the season, finishing with a 4.14 earned run average in 87 innings.
The Phillies had high hopes for Madson in 2006, when they converted him back to a starter, which he played for his entire minor league career, but has since been put back in the bullpen to make room for the left-handed All-Star, Cole Hamels.
