Matt Capps

Wells puts on a show as Pirates beat Rockies, 3-1:

"Tracy gave Capps the ball in the ninth because closer Mike Gonzalez had pitched four innings in the three previous games. Gonzalez, who had some tightness in his groin, was available and did throw lightly in the bullpen in the ninth."

Matt Capps as a closing alternative is certainly something to keep in mind.

He has only walked 5 batters in 51.1 innings while striking out 37 with 51 hits allowed. I am curious about the lack of missed bats.
