Kevin Gregg

The Miami Herlad reported that Kevin Gregg is going to remain the Marlins' closer even when Henry Owens, who is eligible to come off the disabled list this week, returns to the team.

Gregg has done an excellent job for the Marlins this season. He's notched four saves to go along with a 2.33 ERA and a 27/11 K/BB ratio in 27 innings while allowing only one home run. You'd like to see a bit better command but he can continue to be successful as long as the strikeout rate holds.

I was lucky enough to grab him a couple weeks back as a cheap bullpen filler in my NL only league. If he's still floating around in your mixed league make sure you snag him. There's not a ton of competition in the Florida pen so Gregg does have a good chance of holding the job all year.
