Kevin Gregg has been a lifesaver for the Chicago Cubs so far in 2013
The Cubs signed 34-year old righty reliever Kevin Gregg to a minor league deal after the 2013 season started. He bided his time as Cubs’ relievers kept blowing leads late in games. Gregg finally got his big shot to close for the Cubs and he hasn’t looked back. Gregg has pitched in 22 games (0 starts) for the Cubs so far this year and he is 2-0 with 9 saves, a 0.83 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He has only given up 14 hits and 7 walks while whiffing 24 batters in his first 21 2/3 innings this year…..which is impressive! Gregg has now pitched in 94 games (0 starts) in his first two years with the Cubs and he is 7-6 with 32 saves, a 3.79 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. The Cubs need Gregg to keep up the good work as the closer, because they have no one else to turn to.
