So far the team has been <b>downgraded</b>.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Boy, I hadn't thought about it that way, but you're right Butch.
Gregg is a "closer," but just a pale imitation of Wood.

Sonofabitch, you keep saying shit like this, but it's totally fabricated. Look at their stats for fuck's sake, they're almost the same fucking guy. Anyone who thinks this is a drastic change isn't living in reality.

For fuck's sake, <b>read</b> the post. Butch's theory: the Cubs have downgraded.
My supporting evidence: Wood> Gregg
DeRosa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Miles
And Gregg IS a downgrade from Kerry Wood. <i>You</i> look at the stats. One misses bats, and is elite. The other is pretty good, but not elite.
WHIP.......ERA+
1.085.......137 (140 the year before)
1.282.......125 (122 the year before)
Guess which one's which?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Posting one stat, plus another ballpark adjusted stat, doesn't show that Gregg is worse than Wood. Looking at the breadth of all their stats, it's pretty clear that they're basically on the exact same level. Also, one has an extensive injury history and even in his most recent season, missed about a month. There is no downgrade here.
