November 11, 2008 The Rockies have told people close to Manuel Corpas that he is the team's closer for next season, according to the Denver Post. Corpas had a rough beginning and end to the 2008 season but pitched very well in between.
August 24, 2008 Manuel Corpas has been pitching great after his initial struggles, and has an ERA of 1.50 since July 19, covering 30 innings, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
May 31, 2008 The Rockies report relief pitcher Manuel Corpas is finding continued struggles as he attempts to seek the form that made him a hot arm for the Rockies on their way to the World Series last season, according to MLB.com.
May 28, 2008 Manuel Corpas worked a scoreless inning on Tuesday night, allowing one hit. The former closer has served up only one unearned run and four hits over his last seven appearances (6.2 innings). Manager Clint Hurdle praised him on Tuesday, the Denver Post reports.
May 13, 2008 Manuel Corpas will remain with the Rockies though the possibility of sending him to the minors is still possible, according to MLB.com. "It's still the inconsistency of repeating his delivery and maintaining a consistent arm slot," Hurdle said. "But he had two solid outings before that, so I think that's going to keep him in play. I'm confident we'll find a way to keep him moving forward."
