BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2010-12-14 13:00:00	Am I crazy to think that the Twins can put together a darn good bullpen even with losing Crain, Guerrier, Rauch, and Fuentes (assuming they all leave)? I think it's very funny that Twins fans complain that Jose Mijares is inconsistent but also worry that Crain will leave; call for Anthony Slama and Rob Delaney for nearly two years, but now fear the bullpen will be awful when they might get a chance; and don't trust any low-cost options when a guy like Guerrier was originally claimed off waivers. If the Twins can sort through the many options, they could piece together a very effective group. That being said, any established relievers you would recommed for relatively cheap? (russadams from St. Paul)	You're not crazy, and you can find the next Matt Guerrier. I think Grant Balfour's worth getting, and Arthur Rhodes and Chan Ho Park or even Kevin Gregg are names worth spending seven figures for. Kerry Wood, Dan Wheeler, an NRI for Justin Duchscherer... it's still a buyer's market as far as finding relief help, given the multiplicity of alternatives. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-05-24 14:00:00	Christina - if given the opportunity, do you believe that Carlos Villanueva is capable of succeeding in the closer role long term? How about Evan Meek in Pittsburgh? (huckyoda from New York)	Long-term? No, I don't really think so, but that's not an indictment of him as much as I just don't see him fooling enough people enough of the time to really last in the role. But as a single-season fix or as a transient (a la Kevin Gregg), he could pan out just fine. Meek has to contend with the expectation that a wild guy built a bit like a fire hydrant isn't really what most people expect, but I could see him being a poor man's Rod Beck for a season or two, given the opportunity. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-03-17 14:00:00	Who gets the high lev situations in the Toronto pen? John Perrotto reports Frasor perhaps heading to the Cubs. (Neko Case from Toronto)	Which I'd find heartily amusing, since we all know where Kevin Gregg is at present. I'd anticipate that there will be some element of job-sharing involved, with Gregg, Frasor (if he's there), and Scott Downs all getting save opportunities. Later in the year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Josh Roenicke cadging save ops. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-02-23 13:00:00	I know it's early, but should I be concerned about the thought process that decides Kevin Gregg is worth a multi-million dollar contract? Can a thought process prone to such whimsies be successful in building a team to challenge in the AL East? (nick from sfo)	Give the man some time. The issue for the Jays isn't money management, not yet, it's building through the farm system, something that the previous administration couldn't do when it came to position players. The toll for Gregg wasn't terribly onerous. (Steven Goldman)
2010-01-12 18:30:00	On the Tigers bullpen....is Jose Valverde significantly enough better than Kevin Gregg to warrant sacrificing a 1st round pick, more money, and more years it would take to nab Valverde? Should they just sign Gregg? Should they just pass on both? Thanks. (lemppi from Ankeny, IA)	It's interesting because they both had almost identical K and BB rates last season, and throughout their careers have been equals in terms of allowing home runs. Valverde is also just three months Gregg's senior. If Valverde can be had at a reasonable rate, he is probably the better bet, but nothing is certain with relievers and if I had the choice between Gregg at 1-yr/$3 mil and Valverde at 2-yr/$14 mil I would ink the former 100% of the time. I'm very anti-doling out lucrative deals to pitchers that log 45 innings per season. (Eric Seidman)
2010-01-13 13:00:00	Should the Tigers target Kevin Gregg on a shorter, cheaper deal rather then Valverde for more money and losing the #19 pick? (lemppi from Ankeny, IA)	I just am not a fan of Kevin Gregg as a closer. If the Tigers are serious about trying to make another run at the World Series, they should sign Valverde. They, like other teams, are now just waiting for free agent's prices to drop between now and pitchers and catchers reporting. (John Perrotto)
2009-07-31 14:00:00	RE: the Cubs, defense and secret sauce - the Cubs are currently 5th in MLB in Secret Sauce and 2nd in MLB in Defensive Efficiency? Where do these numbers not match your thoughts? (jgalt73 from Portland, OR)	I mentioned the defense...the bigger thing is not believing the bullpen is real. Marmol has all kinds of control issues and I'll believe in Kabbalah before I buy Kevin Gregg. jromero, there's no way I'm running that. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-04-20 13:00:00	Re: Sheehan bullpen usage...what if the manager is misidentifying his pitchers on purpose? If I know that Carlos Marmol is a better pitcher than Kevin Gregg, I am sure Pinella knows it too. But by naming Gregg his "closer" Lou is now able to use Marmol in high leverage situations without the controversy of using his "closer" in the 7th inning. I know your answer will be, "who cares about the controversy" but it would exist and be a distraction. This may be Lou's work-around. (danbrod11 from Greenwich, CT)	Maybe. But we're back to the inning issue. If the #7 spot leads off the eighth in a one-run game, in your scenario, Gregg should pitch the eighth. He won't. The inning needs to be removed as the driving factor in these decisions. The entire closer myth is predicated on the idea that the ninth is somehow harder than the seventh and eighth, regardless of other factors. That's false, and damaging. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-12-23 14:00:00	It looks like the Cubs have essentially traded Kerry Wood for Kevin Gregg in the bullpen. How worried should I be? (Brian from Champaign, IL)	I'm one of the few who thinks that Gregg was doing just fine before he hurt his knee and went to pieces in August, and can do just fine closing or setting up Marmol. I would have rather they also signed Wood to give the team a solid trio, but it seems obvious that multi-year payroll management was a consideration. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-11-14 13:00:00	Can you please comment on the Kevin Gregg for Jose Ceda trade? As a Cubs fan I hate it. (cmeindl from Madison, wi)	Wow... It seemed like a bit of a risk, in that the Cubs traded a real lively arm for a guy who is basically a generic middle reliever. Now, keep in mind that 90% of trades come to nothing, especially those for pitching prospects, but this one seems to have a higher percentage chance of being one that the Cubs come to regret. (Steven Goldman)
