The Houston Astros acquired Ken Giles this offseason, but Luke Gregerson believes he should be closing games for the club.

Gregerson had a strong 2015 season as Houston's ninth-inning guy.

"How do you think I did last year?" Gregerson asked the Houston Chronicle. "I don't see any reason things should change. Obviously, bringing the guy we brought in, he's got a strong power arm, he's shown that he can get guys out on the Major League level and I think he's going to be a great addition to our bullpen no matter where we all fit in.

"We all know the situation of who we brought in. You know the guy's got great stuff, strong arm. No matter where we fall in in the bullpen, I think we've just gotten better, and that's it."

Giles said all the right things when asked about the closer's job, telling reporters Gregerson "should feel that way ... I'm just here to help out the team no matter what the position is."
