I've hated Gregg from the get-go, but only because I feel that Jim said to himself, (like ruby), "Eh, Gregg, Kerry Wood...no difference. Might as well save a couple mil."
But logically, I know that he's been a pretty decent reliever in the recent past. Nobody could be <i>this</i> bad. Relievers tend to be streaky. Hopefully, he'll settle down soon.
I think he will.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Wood's 2008 2nd Half: 4.57 ERA and 1.45 WHIP

That does look pretty weak. Maybe between that, Wood's quest for $10 mil, and his hideous injury history, Jim did some good PR work by saying he wanted Wood to solidify his financial future.
Anyway, I think Gregg will be what we thought he'd be; a Borowski-type who usually comes through, but takes a couple years off your life doing it.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
