Pirates elect not to offer Matt Capps a contract:

I'm surprised a team in their position is just giving up on a guy like that. His '09 ERA is a little scary, but based on his career stats and the fact that 12 of the 35 runs he gave up last year came in 3 outings totaling 2 innings, I'd say he's an easy fixer-upper. If the Sox picked up a guy like that at this point and he regained his 2006-2008 form, we'd be looking at a really, really strong bullpen. I hope KW has Don Cooper on the phone looking at some tape right now.
