The Cubs are closing in on their Opening Day roster. Yesterday, it was the naming of Kevin Gregg over Carlos Marmol as closer. Today, it's roster cuts. Catcher Koyie Hill and infielder Micah Hoffpauir were named to the Opening Day roster while Paul Bako and Mike Stanton were cut loose from the squad. Opening Day - as if you needed reminding - is a week from today. [MLB.com]
