I'm still really high on Carter Capps, even if he is just a reliever. He throws hard as hell and his peripherals indicated that he was more unlucky than anything last year (FIP was something like 3.60 despite a 5.00+ ERA).
How locked in is Cishek as the closer in Marlinville?
By the standards of the Marlins (where all roles are temporary), he's in good shape. I believe he's in his first arbitration year and isn't a free agent until after 2017. Capps is four years younger, and more importantly for Miami, not near his arb years yet.

Is there a particular reason why they should bother?
They like reclamation projects and need a first baseman? They've been rumored to be interested in Smoak in the past. I'm not necessarily saying they SHOULD be in on him, just that I think they might be. EDIT... I believe Smoak is even worse against lefties. If that's true then he's a perfect platoon partner for Gaby Sanchez.

I hope you are right. I just traded for Capps so I would be nice to see him take on a bigger role in Miami.

Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!

His fastball was down a few ticks last year and he has horrible splits because the M's brought him up before he could learn a change and then didn't let him learn it in the bigs. He still may turn into a useful late-inning guy, but he's not someone I'd count on from this point forward. He looked awful last year in every way imaginable - stuff, confidence on the mound, posture coming on and leaving the field, etc.
