Notebook: Dodgers out of the hunt for Craig Wilson - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Notebook: Dodgers out of the hunt for Craig Wilson - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: " The Pirates likely have fallen from the pack of teams trying to pry 1B Ryan Shealy from Colorado. The Rockies are believed to be seeking a young relief pitcher for Shealy, but the Pirates are unwilling to pay that price, especially in the form of rookie RHP Matt Capps."

And that is why the Pirates will continue to stink.

Capps has been a good reliever as a rookie and his minor league walk totals are consistent with what he has done season-to-date.

However, he does not dominate major league hitters and the contact is bound to catch-up with him.

In Colorado, there is a good chance he will never be dominating and thus never embarassing the Pirates for trading him.

Dumb move by the Pirates.
