Greinke Getting 4 Year Extension Through 2012
This will break in about 15 minutes, but Greinke has signed a 4 year extension with the Royals. This is great news for the Royals and hopefully a sign of things to come locking up our talent.

The most significant accomplishment of the off-season, IMO.

So if you figure 4/8 for his next two years of Arby, that's roughly $23 million for his first 2 years of FA eligibility (presuming $35 mil to be accurate).
If he pitches like he can for the next 2 seasons, he'd have easily bettered that. A 27 yr. old with 200 K potential goes for $18 million(ish) if he gets the right teams involved. |

Awesome news. A few option years would have been icing on the cake, though.

I've spent the last 4 years or so trying to figure out how STL could pry Greinke away from you guys. When he was a rookie I watched him in a game where he followed up a 96 mph heater with a 59 mph curve. From then I was hooked. I was really hoping we could swap Reyes for him back when he was really having a rough go of it, I'd have throwin in Chris Duncan for good measure. After the '06 season when Duncan had 25(ish) HRs after a callup and Reyes owned Detroit in the WS, the iron seemed hot. Instead our brain trust ruined young Anthony and shipped him off to CLE for a reliever we promptly left exposed in the Rule 5 draft. Duncan is now injured and doesn't have a place to play. Not good times. Y'all have a keeper. |
