Gregerson, 30, pitched for the Oakland Athletics this past season, going 5-5 with a 2.12 ERA and three saves in 72 appearances. He spent the first five seasons of his career with the San Diego Padres and has a lifetime ERA of 2.75 in 435 games, all out of the bullpen. Neshek, 34, was 7-2 with a 1.87 ERA in 71 appearances for the St. Louis Cardinals this past season. He had 68 strikeouts and only nine walks and in 67 1/3 innings. Over his eight-year career, Neshek has a 2.78 ERA in 297 games for Minnesota, San Diego, Oakland and St. Louis. Cheap Pistons Jerseys Authentic .
