Yates, Grabow candidates to close: With closer Matt Capps (shoulder) still on the DL and fill-in Damaso Marte on his way to the Yankees following a trade Friday, the Pirates likely will turn to either right-hander Tyler Yates or left-hander John Grabow in save opportunities. (Updated 07/25/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Grabow has better numbers, but teams usually avoid making closers out of left-handers. Figure Yates to get the majority of the save opportunities in Pittsburgh, but because of his inconsistency and the uncertainty of this situation, think of him as nothing more than a last resort in Fantasy.
