With the Cubs out of contention already, having Kevin gregg as a closer is meaningless. Could we get him for a decent prospect as he makes next to nothing.

Watching Kevin Gregg on a regular would probably make us appreciate guys like Hoover and LeCure a lot more. So there's that.

Having a good year so far, would take him over Simon, Partch, Ondrusek.
Simon is better than Gregg IMO. Ondrusek isn't on the team. Partch... is an emergency fill-in.
I guess it depends on who the team has to give up, but Gregg would definitely not bring the stability to the 'pen we're looking for. At best, he's J.J. Hoover with more mileage.
I don't care about 19 innings of unsustainable performance this season, Kevin Gregg has a track record of failure.

Never trust a man with 2 first names.

A guy in a similar position (former closer picked up by a go-nowhere NL Central team who likely wouldn't cost much to acquire) who is more intriguing to me is K-Rod himself, Francisco Rodriguez.

JAy Bruce. Two first names
How about Tim Wakefield?

Arquimedez Pozo- two first names
Well if Arquimedez can be a first name, so can Pozo.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

Pete Rose - androgynous - apt for a switch-hitter.
