News: Salomon Torres was pulled in the ninth inning in a save situation after giving up a couple of runs in the Pirates' 5-3 win over Houston.
Views: Matt Capps pitched the eighth, leaving Torres with a four-run lead. Torres gave up a hit, two walks and a sacrifice fly to account for one run, then John Grabow give up an RBI-single before recording the save.
It's time for Torres to move back into the set-up role and give the closer job to Capps.

I'm also a Torres owner. I'm planning on dropping him tonight (actually going to try and pull a trade to someone who doesn't pay attention) and pickup Capps.

you have to remember, its all speculation. In all likelihood, the bucs are trying to showcase torres for a midseason trade. They probably want him to take the closers role until then. I dont think a change will happen this week, but maybe if he blows another.
On a side note, I might drop him for Bartolo Colon!
