 Chris Capuano-S- BrewersJan. 9 - 4:58 pm et
Chris Capuano (elbow) is optimistic about his chances for earning a roster spot with the Brewers.
Capuano was signed to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. He hasn't pitched in the major leagues since 2007 due to multiple Tommy John surgeries, but made three appearances with Milwaukee's rookie league team last fall. With a normal offseason routine, he expects to enter camp without any limitations. "I know the major-league level is a lot different from rookie ball but I feel healthy, and I’m in as good a shape as I’ve ever been," said Capuano. "There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to compete for a major-league spot." Capuano was always a soft-tosser, but he was only reaching the 86-87 mph range in the instructional league. Increased velocity could come with time, but he'll have a hard time getting that past major league hitters.

 Chris Capuano-S - Brewers Nov. 23 - 5:43 pm et

Brewers signed LHP Chris Capuano to a minor league contract.
Capuano also gets an invitation to spring training. He has not pitched in the majors since 2007 while recovering from a second Tommy John surgery. Capuano underwent the latter of the procedures in May 2008 and returned to the mound late last season, making three appearances for the Brewers' rookie league team and allowing three earned runs in nine innings with eight strikeouts in those outings.

Chris Capuano pitched two scoreless innings for Rookie-level Helena in a rehab outing.
Capuano has been fighting back from his second Tommy John surgery in May 2008. He has not pitched for the Brewers since September 2007. It's doubtful that he'll surface with the Brewers next month and he'll likely have to settle for another minor league deal this winter.

After three appearances with the Rookie AZL Brewers, Chris Capuano will move up to Rookie Helena for the next phase of his rehab assignment.
Capuano was hopeful of helping the Brewers in June following his second Tommy John surgery in May 2008, but he's had a very difficult time making it back. It's doubtful that he'll surface with the Brewers next month, and he'll likely have to settle for another minor league deal this winter.

 Chris Capuano-S - Brewers Apr. 2 - 6:14 pm et

Chris Capuano has hit a setback in his rehab from a second Tommy John surgery.
"It pushes it back at least a month," Capuano said Thursday. "I’ll shoot for (pitching in) May. It’s disappointing but the doctor is confident the graft is still strong. It just takes time for that bone to heal and there’s nothing I can do to speed it up." He will continue rehabbing at extended spring training and probably can't be counted on in the first half of the season.
