Cubs' Nick Greenwood: Signs minor league deal with Cubs
Nick Greenwood has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs, MLB Trade Rumors reported Wednesday.Greenwood, a 14th-round pick in 2009, appeared in one major league game last season and allowed two runs without recording an out. In 2014 he posted a 4.75 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 36 relief innings. His control is impeccable, as he walked just 1.7 batter per nine innings in Triple-A last year, but hitters have teed off on him, as he allowed 16 home runs in 129 innings and struck out just 60 batters. Unless his stuff improves significantly, he just can't match up with major league hitting.
