NO NO NO NO! SAY IT AINT SO!

Rosenthal tweets it...he would be brought in for the 8th inning...

 

 

...as the batboy, one hopes...

Matt Herges in the 7th inning, i hope

is there a website that shows his stats in the 8th inning? because if i remember correctly he's not too shabby of a pitcher as long as he's not pitching in the closer role.

You guys are ridiculous.

 

Gregg is a more than capable RP that has a good K rate and BAA. Yea, he is a flyball pitcher and gives up some jacks, but he's very durable, can pitch multiple innings, and combined with Nunez, and god willingly Vanden Hurk, as three big harder throwing right handers and mix and match Sanches, Badenhop, Wood, Leroux, and all the other candidates behind him.

 

This would be a great low cost signing if it happens. I can't imagine they'd be devoting a lot of cash to him. Plus, creates healthy competition for the closer spot.

maybe it's that the marlins got 3 homers off him in 4 innings last year, but this guy stanks like trouble. something about dudes playing baseball with glasses...

I think it's an upgrade.

He is an upgrade over Matt Lindstrom. I don't see why bringing him back would be so bad.

well if he accepts the offer then our bullpen will have some insurance with turnbow, gregg, and veras all signed. gregg is pretty good and 1 of the remaining two will probably produce since we're known for reclamation projects. we still need to sign an outfielder, preferably left handed... maybe gabe gross

keep him out of the closer spot so he falls down to type B (was type A this offseason but not offered arb). if he has a good year, no one will remember 2009, and we can get a pick for him.

 

Not that we offer arbitration to relievers but that's beside the point.

I admit to not following Gregg much last season but I wonder how much his surgically repaired knee played in his woes during the season?

 

On a separate note it might have been at mlbtr or some other site but there was a short piece on Joe Nelson (who I have problems with for off-field reasons namely the way he whored himself around last off-season but that's me and has nothing to do with his baseball skills), the comment being except for one stretch, he put up pretty excellent numbers last season including a post-ASG or something that was like a 1.50 ERA. Just saying...my guess is the Fish stay far away on that one unless it's a minor league deal and even then there's a mea culpa due.

 

You never know with these surgically repaired guys...throw Calero in there too.

I think Nelson's quote said something about having a 2-something ERA before May, and a 1-something ERA after May. I think the FO also stated somewhere that they were hesitant about re-signing Calero because they don't think his shoulder will hold up for another season.

Nelson would have been lynched by the fans on here if he was with us last year. He had a good April but then got confused between BP and real games in May. Then he had a very good June but was horrible in July. And yeah, in July his ERA was low but that was a lot of luck, as he was terrible and was basically giving 1st base away. In June and July he had a tiny tiny BABIP, especially in June, and July was basically him loading the bases and the rest of the bullpen bailing him out.

I'm fine with it as long as he doesn't become "our guy."

 

He would be a significant upgrade over Lindstrom.

At least Rab could bring back the Superman video

Elitist.

Does that include closers at used car dealerships (like Jorge Julio)?

for an 8th inning guy he could be pretty good. but i agree i dont want him in the closer spot.

That's because I'm elite.

I don't think bringing Gregg in is a bad thing for the Marlins. Have him and Nunez compete for the closer's job this spring. May the best man get the saves. I just don't feel too comfortable just giving the job to Nunez.

Like Greg Maddux.

or Eric Gagne who wore glasses when he was the best closer on the planet.

or Ricky Vaughn who Kevin Gregg totally reminds me of, sometimes...
