 Jesse Chavez-R- RaysNov. 3 - 7:55 pm et
Rays acquired RHP Jesse Chavez from the Pirates for second baseman Akinori Iwamura.
Chavez, 26, had a 4.01 ERA in 67 1/3 innings as a rookie for the Pirates this year. He throws 92-96 mph and his changeup makes him solid enough against lefties, but as an extreme flyball pitcher, he gives up too many homers to be trusted in late-game situations. He's just a standard middle reliever.

 Matt Capps-R - Pirates Sep. 28 - 9:34 am et  

Despite his struggles this year, Matt Capps will head into spring training next season as the Pirates' closer.
Capps has a 5.91 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and five blown saves through 56 appearances this season. "Barring some unforeseen circumstance, if Matt comes into camp in the best shape, ready to pitch, he will be our closer," Huntington said. "We absolutely believe in him. If it doesn't work out, we have other options with Joel Hanrahan, Jesse Chavez and Evan Meek."

X-rays on Matt Capps' elbow revealed no fracture, but there's still no word on how much time he'll miss.
Capps was hit by a Geovany Soto liner while trying to close out Monday's game. If he needs to go on the DL, then John Grabow and Jesse Chavez would be the favorite for saves.

Matt Capps left Monday's game in the ninth inning after taking a comebacker off his right hand.
Capps was drilled by a Geovany Soto liner back to the mound. John Grabow and Jesse Chavez would be the top candidates for saves if a DL stint is necessary.
 Jesse Chavez-R - Rays Apr. 3 - 10:11 am et

Jesse Chavez was awarded a spot in the Pirates' bullpen on Friday morning.
Chavez, 25, had a 11.45 ERA in 13 appearances this spring, but is better prepared for the start of the season than Evan Meek, who was optioned to Triple-A. "Ultimately, logic won out over emotion," GM Neal Huntington said. "Evan threw the ball very well — good velocity, good stuff, good command — and he'd gotten good results. That was tough to walk away from. But he hasn't gone back-to-back (outings) yet and hadn't gone multiple innings yet. He hasn't really faced (a tough) lineup yet. Jesse has."
