Minny trying to keep Capps

Twins are looking to re-sign Matt Capps, I'm getting a bit nervous that the numbers are just falling out of our favor in regards to getting a legitimate closer.  There are still 6-7 teams looking and only 5-6 closers remaining.  After that your going into the Branden Looper/Luis Ayala type situation, where your trying to make someone into a closer or give someone who failed at it another shot. I have debated about whether it's worth it to even sign a closer, I mean how many games will he get to save and how many would actually be blown by  Acosta/Parnell.  But if some of these positional youngsters are part of the future you don't want them losing games on a regular basis in the 9th inning and getting that "snakebitten" mentality.  Matt Capps struggled in 2011 and could bring the Twins a compensatory draft pick in 2012, but the team is working to re-sign him. Gardenhire would like to bring the right-hander back because he’s a “great teammate and a good pitcher”...
