Not if you're looking for cheap saves in the meantime, right?
That would be correct.
Why wouldn't Owens get the job back? His numbers are pretty good, only 1 blown save, 1.96 era, 12 ks in 18.3 ip.
You are correct about the other night - Tank gave up all those hits/runs, and Julio came in and Zimmerman hit a grandslam off Julio.However, a few weeks earlier, Gregg notched a 3 inning save and did fine until the 9th...
your right. That Zimmerman grand slam off of Gregg was in a 12 to 2 game with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
you say this as if Owens has a steel trap on the job. He does not, the Marlins manager has made comments that Gregg could and would take it over if he's successful during this little trial. With another save today, he has been.
Do you have a link where the Marlins manager said "Gregg could and WOULD take it over if he's successful during this little trial"?
nope, it was on the rays radio broadcast here friday.

Owens has the pedigree, Gregg doesn't. Even if Gregg is left to close for the near future, it won't last. You can bank on that.
yea, okOwens has the pedigree, Gregg doesn't. Even if Gregg is left to close for the near future, it won't last. You can bank on that.
Gregg has a career ERA over 4 and a WHIP over 1.3. His minor league numbers are worse. Owens has better overall numbers in the minors and he was groomed to be a closer in the minors. In 2006 he had 74 ks to 10 bb in 40 ip with 20 svs, and he was doing very well when he got injured as the current FLA closer. Yes, Gregg might get the nod until he falters, but you can count on that happening. If you have Gregg, you had best be selling high.yea, okOwens has the pedigree, Gregg doesn't.

...at AA. In fact he spent 5, count them FIVE years down in single-A. Stop making this guy out to be something he's not. He's a 28-year-old that spent 6 years down in the minors, 5 at the lowest level and has a handful of impressive MLB performance to his resume. He doesn't have the "pedigree" no matter how badly you want to believe it.
....and Gregg does?
Isn't it embarrasing to list yahoo advice? Hell, maybe they're right this time, but Owens owners shouldn't be dropping him too quickly. Gregg won't hold the job. Owens was doing just fine before he got hurt, so there's no room for error from Gregg.
This is my first year in fantasy baseball. At this point, I'd listen to advice written on the bathroom wall.
I was just kidding. It's a long standing joke at FBGs when it comes to yahoo advice. However, they may have this one right for once. I still think Henry will be the closer before the All-Star break, but I've been wrong before.
Wow, you killed him. I traded FOR Gregg today, but I only gave up Gaudin.
