Baseball career

Colorado Rockies

From the town of Aguas Benditas-Chilibre, Panama, Corpas was signed by the Rockies at the age of 16 as an amateur free agent in 1999. He made his debut for the Rockies on July 18, 2006. Following the All-Star Break in 2007, Corpas filled in as closer for Brian Fuentes, who was demoted after taking four of eight losses during an 8-game losing skid. Corpas finished the year with a 4-2 win-loss record, a 2.08 earned run average, and 19 saves in 22 chances; he continued to serve as the Rockies' closer during the 2007 postseason.

He continued as the closer into the 2008 season. However, after a number of poor outings, he was replaced by Fuentes in late April.[1] In 2008 he tied for the major league lead in blown saves, with 9.[1]

During 2009 spring training, he competed with Huston Street for the closer spot; Street won the position and Corpas started the season as the eighth inning set up pitcher.[2] After poor performances by Street, Corpas was re-named the closer on April 17;[3] however, Corpas also pitched poorly, and the closer job was given back to Street on May 1.[4]

Texas Rangers

Following the 2010 season, Corpas was released.[5] On April 8, 2011, Corpas signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers.
