Let the Professionals Handle This

They're worried, too. They're worried, too.

Kevin Gregg is worried about his trade value. More specifically, he's worried about him becoming the set-up guy being detrimental for his trade value. First, you don't get to complain about being the set-up guy when you've blown 9 saves. Putting you in to close and blow more saves actually hurts your trade value. Just because you'd be the closer doesn't make anything better. You have to, you know, succeed at your job to improve your trade value. Second, it's not your job to worry about trade value. I'm sure the Marlins are as upset about you losing trade value as you are. At this point, they are going to have to non-tender you to get rid of you. Third, because you know you're going to get traded, then they are going to trade you, which means they need to think about the future. That means, they need to get Lindstrom into closing situations to see if he can handle it.

With a 3.66 ERA and 57 K in 64 IP, Gregg really isn't all that bad. Yet, then you see the 35 BB and the 29/38 in save situations, and you realize that he is that bad. His .211 BAA is pretty good, though. Somebody will bite, but Gregg's right in that it won't be for much, especially with arbitration looming.
