Many of you may or may not agree with me, but we should sign capps to a multi-year deal!!! Now before you stop reading and making comments listen to my rant. I will provide FOUR reasons so you can agree. First of all he is very young. He is only 27 years old, and most pitchers dont fully mature till their 30's. Pavano for instance was a nobody till last year when he came to the Twins. Now everybody would like to have him on their starting rotatian(except the phillies).Also pitchers can pitch into their 40's and still very good ex.Mariano Rivera or Jaime Moyer. Second he wouldnt be asking that much, he has had a little bit of a down year and not many teams will give him a chace. And if they do give him a chance they wouldn't pay him that much. Also he is our third best reliever behind Nathan and Perkins. I wouldn't trust anyone else coming out of the bullpen. Ask your self this would you want Alex Burnett coming in when it's a bases loaded jam late in the ball game? I sure as hell wouldn't. Finally his stuff is just filthy, he has a noteworthy slider and a mid 90's fastball. If he could learn just one more pitch hitters would never figure him out.
