A Farewell to Old Bullpen Arms
by R.J. Anderson
| American League | National League |
Released RHP Kevin Gregg. [9/14]
When the Orioles signed Gregg, he had the proven-closer tag and a little more oomph to his game. Nowadays, Gregg works quickly with a low-90s sinker, a curveball, a cutter, and a splitter. He doesn’t seem to have the foggiest idea where the pitches will wind up, though were he to guess up on the sinker he would be right more often than not. It’s unclear what the future holds for Gregg. It’s just as easy to see him latch on as a middle-relief option somewhere as it is to envision him retiring.

Regarding Jed Lowrie, he did reverse his traditional splits (drastically) this year and show he could hit righties (even if pretty woeful against lefties).
