The 07-08 Capps with Grabow, Guzman, and Marmol would make for a pretty solid 7-9 inning group. Plus he has a good name.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The last thing I want to see is another FA bullpen acquisition.
OK, maybe not the last thing...but do we really need to spend more money on middle relievers?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well he could turn into the best reliever we have outside of Marmol.

He could also have another 2009 and be a total bust. I don't see why we don't give the 50 bajillion arms we have in our farm system a shot to land the last spot in the bullpen instead of throwing money away on guys like Grabow or Capps. Yes -- all of our minor league pitchers could bust, too. But we don't have to pay them anything and there are enough arms in our system with potential that the odds are that one of them would stick and pitch at least as well as Capps.
