I don’t have a category for "washed-up guys who may or may not be dominant big-league closers sometime soon."

Well, they've either found the replacement for Braden Looper

Or the replacement for Lindsay Gulin. More likely the latter, but you never know.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Good question

So the checklist included:

2 starting pitchers
1 light-hitting CF
1 gritty catcher
1 gritty bench player

So, it appears that the Brewers still need to sign Gregg Zaun and Matt Stairs.

I guess signing Mark Loretta would be good too.

I get the feeling that 1 of you is being sarcastic.

And one of you is not.

Cappy was signed to a minor league contract too. Does that give us 3?

Can we come to a consensus on how to pronounce his name?

I vote for "Hay - Llama"

Because I expect he’ll pitch about as well as a llama.
