Zach Greinke

Wow. Not much I can say past that. Look at this guys stats so far-

ERA- 0.51
W/L- 6/1
SO- 59
WHIP- 0.79

This guy can throw the ball. I reading some articles about him including a sports illustrated one, there were some weird things like he didnt like the game, was fighting depression, and would rather be a position player or something like that. That aside though, this guy is having a killer year.

Re: Zach Greinke

I've heard him doing radio interviews several times. Greinke is an odd cat. Not always in the same universe as the rest of us. But he also seems like a really good kid. Glad he's been able to overcome his social anxiety disorder. And certainly glad he's still a Royal!

Whatever universe he is in now, maybe he should stay there because he is pitching absolutley amazing.

Nice piece in the Star today about ZG!

Even when he’s not at his best, Greinke is awesome - Kansas City Star

Thats what happens with most low market teams. A story like the Rays last year only happens once in a while.

Re: Zach Greinke

Royals have already signed him to a multi-year contract. Though I don't remember if it extends 1 or 2 years into what would have been his free agency years.

Re: Zach Greinke

A lot would have to happen in his favor. He won't stay this good all year. And if a big name from a big market is even close, it's going to the big name (like Roy Halladay).

Maybe not as good as he is right now. However I wouldn't be surprised if he kept up a good performance and became a candidate for the Cy Young. I think the All-star game is almost assured at this point aswell.
