Cubs invited OF Adam Greenberg, RHP Bobby Brownlie, LHP Carmen Pignatiello, LHP Raul Valdez, RHP Randy Wells, C Dennis Anderson, C Jake Fox, INF Casey McGehee, 1B Brandon Sing and OF Buck Coats to spring training.

Greenberg cleared waivers after being designated for assignment in November, but he's still a prospect. He'll probably be a member of Triple-A Iowa's outfield. Brownle, Pignatiello and Valdez could be candidates to see time in the pen later on.

Greenberg had his 2005 season ended by the first pitch he saw as a major leaguer, getting beaned by Valerio De Los Santos. He was hitting .269/.386/.407 in Double-A before being called up, and he's just 24. One of the teams that values OBP could grab him.
