Best Closer in Baseball - No!

Matt Capps, one of my favorite players left on the Pirates, gave up 5, yes 5 runs tonight in the 9th to blow the game. I am a big Pittsburgh Kool-Aid drinker and think that next winning season is this year, or next year. I always think the guys they have just need time to develop and they will at least be able to get to .500 no matter whether the guys are this year's the guys or next year's the guys that they got in trade for this years the guys (try to follow that logic). That's why I think Matt is one of the best closers in the National League. In reality, he is a better closer than most teams have, but I guess he's not really up there with Mariano Rivera or the other top closers. He's definitely better at his position than the Pirates have at most positions. Which brings me to my position analysis for the Pirates and what the Kool-Aid tells me for those positions.
1B - Adam LaRoche - If he could be consistent he would be one of the best 1B around, but he can't be consistent based on his years with the Pirates. He's gone anyway. FA after this year.
2B - Freddy Sanchez - Could start for any team, he's that good. Only problem is his injury proneness. Batting champ 2 years ago. Probably next trade to happen.
SS - Jack Wilson - Despite his speaking out against trades, a great all around team player. Could start for 75% of teams. Great Defense, Sufficient offense. One player they cannot do without. But along with Sanchez, one of the top 2 trades coming up. Hello, Mr. Bixler. Bad defense, worse bat. Nothing else in the minors to take over.
3B - Andy LaRoche - Serviceable 3B, thought he would provide 20 HRs, but he'll be lucky to get to 10. Decent defense after a shaky start.
Center Field - Andrew McCutcheon - No regrets now about losing McLouth. "Cutch" as Nyjer Morgan calls him is an all star that will happen sooner than later. I think he'll provide some power to go with his speed once he bulks up a bit. He has BB's rookie body. Without the steroids he should be able to put on some pounds and add some HR's.
Other Outfield - Brandon Moss - Don't like him, hasn't done anything
Garrett Jones - Has shown some HR power and hit for a good average in short stint. Hopefully they lucked out and found a HR hitter. Cross your fingers and hope.
Lastings Milledge - Has all the talent to be a star, but can he keep his head on straight. Another cross your fingers player.
Catcher - Ryan Doumit - Great player, not the best at catcher but he has potential if he can just get past his injuries.

So, I think we have 2 building blocks, Cutch and Doumit. That's not good. Garrett Jones is a possibility but a long shot, considering the Twins didn't give him a shot.

But another drink of the Kool-Aid tells me Neal Huntington's plan is in process and Jose Tabata and Gorky "Park" Hernandez and Lastings Milledge will be the players we've been waiting for that will turn this losing around.

BTW, I've heard nothing about Miguel Angel Sano. Hopefully, no news is good news, right?
