Beat writer Thomas Harding speculates that Manuel Corpas will open the 2009 season as the Rockies closer with Taylor Buchholz close on his heels, according to the Rockies Official Website.Corpas was awful early on and eventually ended the year with a 4.52 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 5.65 K/9 mark while Taylor clearly outperformed all of those numbers (2.17 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 7.60 K/9). However, Corpas was the teams choice at the start of 2008 so it only figures that they would give him another shot in 2009.
