Piss.
I had him locked in in my dynasty league b/c I figured for sure he'd go to the NL so he could hit. I'm really surprised to see he signed long-term in the AL. Facing the pitcher's slot 3 times every start yeilds another 20 Ks or so over the course of the season, not to mention the lower ERA and WHIP as a result. Damn you Greinke for screwing up my long-term plan. |

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. |

Neyer in this article (from '04 I think) chronicles the start I saw that convinced me of this kid. Evidently my memory is a little off on the raw numbers, but the point remains. The kid flat knows how to pitch, did when he was still in his teens. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/column...rob&id=1815125 I really couldn't give a large rats ass about the rest of your players, but Greinke's just a blast to watch and a true pleasure for the purists. |
