Huston Street Loses Closer Job To Manny Corpas

We predicted it before the season started and now it has happened. Huston Street is out as Rockies closer according to sources in Denver. Manny Corpas will become the closer and should have success. If he is available in your leagues, get him. He has closed before for the Rockies with 23 saves over two season and should do alright. He has had problems, so this might be a good pick up and trade scenario if you can get him. Personally, I don't like closers in Colorado.

Colorado Rockies Closer Report

Huston Street had another rough outing today. He came in to pitch the 9th in a non-save situation, but quickly turned it into one. He gave up a home run to to Derek Lee, and then followed that with single and a walk before Clint Hurdle pulled him for Jason Grilli.

We have never had confidence in Huston Street pitching in Colorado. Its a big risk, and a bad ball park to pitch in if you can't command your stuff. Today wasn't in Colorado, but he is bound to have adventures when the Rockies go home.

Currently, according to reports, he is still the closer, he was just ineffective and was removed. Don't pick up Grilli. If Corpas was available he would have pitched, but he was used in the 8th.

We recommend picking up Manny Corpas if he is available on your waiver wire. We suspect before long he will be the Rockies closer.
