I always have a rule, don't draft Pittsburgh Pirate starting pitchers, however so far in 2009 I've been burned. They are pitching outstanding baseball and closer Matt Capps has been the recipient with 4 saves already.



Capps is pitching great baseball. He hasn't given up a run in 4.2 innings and has a microscopic 0.64 WHIP. Capps has always been a favorite closer of mine, but I tend to shy away from him because of the team he is associated with.



Enjoy this ride while it lasts, but if he gets a few more saves quickly I would recommend selling high and trading him to the highest bidder. Eventually, just like all good things, the Pirates winning ways will have to come to an end.



That is historic FACT.
