Andy Pettitte is just as home-grown for the Yankees as Greinke is for the Royals. He came up through the Yankees farm system.
Pettitte is 10th among active major league pitchers in win-loss percentage (.629); eighth in wins (215); and 10th in strikeouts (2,002). He is also one of only four active pitchers with at least 200 wins, 1,900 strikeouts, and a winning percentage at or above .600. The others are Randy Johnson, Pedro Martínez, and Tom Glavine.
You might want to rethink your opinion about Pettitte. We can only hope that Greinke winds up with a career as good as Pettitte's.
