Kevin Gregg?

As crowded as LF-1B-DH and the potential starting rotation are, they are nothing compared to what the bullpen is. Considering that given the number of bodies that are already jammed in their, and at least some guys who can't be starters and can't get sent down are also going to have to fit, why would you sign Kevin Gregg?

Downs and Frasor are already in their "competing" for closer for some reason, why add another questionable veteran to that mix. Especially when the veteran is as questionable as Gregg? I could understand if he was some guy you couldn't believe you had the chance to sign but Kevin Gregg? He's no more likely to find his past "glory" than Roenicke, Janssen or Accardo are to find their's in that role, and why should he be eating up their opportunity?

Maybe this is the move that happens because Chapman/Sheets/other big name isn't happening, but Kevin Gregg is a big name? Maybe some more people are on the move, but even then why do you need Gregg?

Obviously, I'm confused?

Update:


Well they did it, at least it's got 2 club option years, that way if he does find his form next year he's trapped in as payment for screwing up development for a year. Too cute by half i'd call it but at least it's not a 1-year deal where he could get good and then walk with the jays not having developed a replacement.
