If the Cubs were sellers right now

[apete6]

Everyone's still waiting on the breakout of Jose Ceda. He was a good prospect, but until he puts it together, getting an average year out of Kevin Gregg for him may not be the worst trade ever.

Except we didn't get an average year from Gregg. He was pretty awful.

 

Maybe he meant average for Gregg?

 

I guess you're right, he was bad with the Cubs. Negative WAR. Maybe I just blocked that out of my head.

 

Going into the season, though, he was projected to possibly be a Type A and if he had replicated his previous 3 years (averaged about 0.8 WAR), he might have been a decent long term bullpen option or at least a good arbitration candidate--if, you know, our GM believed in offering arbitration to mediocre relievers instead of signing them to over-market 2-3 year deals (see Grabow, John). He sucked, we got nothing, and it was one in a series of either bad or mediocre moves by Hendry.
