Cubs Spring Training is here!

The Chicago Cubs start spring training today! I have waited for this day since the season abruptly ended. Pitchers and catchers report today. A few players came early arriving yesterday including: Ken Kadokura, Chad Gaudin, Kevin Gregg, Jeff Samardzija, Neal Cotts, Kevin Hart, Randy Wells, Geovany Soto, Koyie Hill, Jake Fox, and Wellington Castillo. All of the pitcher’s that came early have something to prove by battling for a spot in the bullpen or hoping to be a starter, except Kevin Gregg who should be the setup man for closer Carlso Marmol. Now with spring training here we should slowly start learning more about the 2009 Chicago Cubs. Between me and some of the other obsessed Cubs fans here on this blog, we should have complete coverage of the Chicago Cubs! So stay tuned for a lot of Cubs coverage.

Kevin Gregg should be the closer. I don't want marmol coming in the game with 2-3 run leads, but when the game is on the line and we need the best pitcher to shut the shit down

i think our middle infield is kinda weak. We need an upgrade, aka brian roberts

I would like Gregg as closer. He is as good as Wood and then we can save Marmol for tight spots like last year when we have guys in scoring position or bases loaded.
Our middle infield may be a little weak offensively, but we upgraded

Our outfield offense, so both our middle infielder could be options for table setters. The Cubs should easily win the weak Central.
