Is Capps even the sixth best "closer" in the NL?
Heath Bell has more saves with better numbers in the WHIP and strikeout categories, plus a solid 1.72 ERA.
Jonathan Broxton waited until June 23rd to walk his 4th batter, at which point his ERA was 0.89.
Carlos Marmol has struck out an absurd 72 (seventy-two!) batters in 39 innings.
Billy Wagner has a WHIP under 1.00 and has given up 5 runs while recording 17 saves
Leo Nunez has been brilliant all-around.
That leaves Capps in the same category as Matt Lindstrom, K-Rod, Francisco Cordero, and Brian Wilson. If you were GM, would you select Capps given first pick of those guys? Which is why the Nats need to capitalize on the All-Star misconception and sell high.
