What Do You Do With Cappy?

Ok, he's been absolutely horrible. Hurting the team bigtime. What would you do?

Cappy is talent wise, better than Vargas, Bush and Gallardo(at this point in his career).

1. Sheets
2. Suppan (has been bad lately)
3. Cappy
4. Bush
5. Vargas

Now you seriously can't move Cappy to the bullpen when you have Bush and Vargas starting too.

I don't care about "talent", I care about results. And right now Cappy is our worst starter.

If you look at the last 10 games for Jeff Suppan and Chris Capuano, Cappy has been much better. He has just really struggled these last 2 games. But Suppan has consistently been mediocre.

This whole starting rotation other than Sheets (and Bush lately) has been absolute crap.

Not only are they giving up a lot of runs, they can't get past the 5th inning.

One more start like this, and send him to the pen. The Brewers can't afford this crap

Your better than Yost. He will give Cappy another full year.

Cappy still doesn't look 100%. He needs some time off to get himself fully healthy and collect himself mentally.

I'd tell him he has 1 or 2 starts left to shape up,the key being to stop walking people.It's been the walks that are just killing him,particularily to non great hitters.

He's out there nibbling nibbling to guys at the start of innings,ends up walking hitters and then bam,one bit hit or two and disaster strikes.You can't walk hitters and survive as a pitcher,especially command guys like Capuano who have a harder time getting out of jams via the strikeout.

It drives me nuts when pitchers walk leadoff hitters,baserunners equal runs,stop nibbling and make batters hit their way on.

My thoughts exactly.

yeah. capuano is great when he believes he is. he never had killer stuff, but he killed with what he had. i would shuffle him down in the lineup (esp. now if you have to insert gallardo, who's been lights-out) into situations against mediocre pitchers and tell him to attack the plate and limit the walks--every pitcher would love to be ahead in the count, but with capuano's game, it's almost necessary. if he gets shelled; well, what's the difference from now...

I would move him to the Pen for a couple of weeks and let him get his act together. Then start Yo for a while and go from there.

Are you crazy? Put this guy in the pen is just asking for a disaster! He can't locate nothing. Send him down to Triple A. Get his location worked out down there not up in the majors.

Am I crazy? um I would like to say that I'm not. Putting him in the pen would be far from a disaster. However now that Sheets is on the DL I would let him keep starting.

Why would you put a guy who can't locate at all in the pen. Makes no sense to me.
