Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella has picked Kevin Gregg to be the team's closer heading into the season. Gregg beat out Carlos Marmol, the Cubs' setup man last year. Going into Sunday, Gregg hadn't given up a run all spring. The Cubs obtained the 30-year-old Gregg during the offseason in a trade with Florida.
