Gregg is a Cub

Our old buddy Kevin Gregg is a pretty good pitcher, and since he's likely due a raise after closing most of the last 2 years, the Marlins had to deal him. He projects for around a 3.50 ERA, close to a strikeout per inning, but with a fairly high number of walks. Marlins get Jose Ceda, a 22 year old pitcher with a run of the mill relief projection. Ceda gets good scouting marks, he's 6'5, 250 with an upper 90's fastball so he might turn out pretty good.

Gregg's days as a closer are probably over though, as Carlos Marmol will most likely replace free agent Kerry Wood at the end of games. Facts about Carlos Marmol:

1. Projection: 3.08 ERA, 80K in 61 innings
2. Marmol is a Mammal
3. Carlos Marmol strikes people out ALL THE TIME
4. The purpose of Carlos Marmol is to totally flip out and throw fastballs past everybody.
