Greinke is the very definition of "not most players". The dude almost quit baseball because he was unhappy with playing. He "struggled" as recently as a few years ago because he became so bored that he started playing around with funny pitches and speeds just to keep himself amused. He's said the most fun he's ever had playing baseball was competing for the Texas League championship in Wichita. The scouts all agree that he has elite stuff, he simply needs to have something to play for.
