The Chicago Cubs will have several relievers to pick from at the end of the game. With Brandon Morrow and Steve Cishek joining the bullpen, some of the roles of the late-inning guys could be shifted around. So how about Pedro Strop? The former set-up man might find himself being used differently this season. Will he still be an eighth-inning guy? Or will he come into the game a little sooner than that?
If there’s one thing that didn’t bother us about the St. Louis offseason, it’s the trade of Randal Grichuk to the Toronto Blue Jays.
