Recent Cubs
Transactions/Update about the Blog
The Chicago Cubs have recently signed former Cub Kevin Gregg
to a minor league contract. This signing is meant to give the Cubbies a safety
net in case Kyuji Fujikawa doesn’t return from his strained foreman as soon as
the Cubs predicted. Gregg has experience as a closer in his career, but Cubs
fans shouldn’t expect him to be a lights out closer that he once was. However,
Gregg can provide the Cubbies with some quality bullpen innings when needed.
The Cubs claimed Kameron Loe off the Seattle Mariners
because the Mariners DFAed him because they had to make a roster spot for
starting pitcher Aaron Harang. Loe will offer the Cubs a reliable arm in the
bullpen that can get outs for the Cubbies. Loe will probably be used as a
middle reliever because the Cubs are going to use Shawn Camp to close certain games
for them.
I know that in my first blog I said that this blog will be
about game analyses and statistical analyses, but I haven’t really done any statistical
analysis yet. I will be doing statistical analysis after the first month of
baseball. I chose to wait until the
first month is over because there aren’t enough stats to fully analyze a player
and predict how that player will do in the reminder of the year from only a
couple of games. Also, I’m going to wait until my spring semester is over and I
will have the time to fully analyze all the Cubs players and their stats.
