Well, ironically, maybe he would have a chance with the Kansas City Royals.Zack Greinke didn’t really impress me last night. He pitched well and maybe I caught him on a bad night, but to me he didn’t seem dominant. Greinke has may have the lowest ERA in the AL since Pedro Martinez in 2000, but he doesn’t strike me as the dominant force that Pedro was during his statistical peak. Don’t get me wrong, Greinke pitched very effectively but he was not the unhittable beast on the mound that Pedro or Clemens (or even Johan Santana) were during their reign of dominance.Being a good player doesn't mean you're good at evaluating talent. Like Michael Jordan. Nor does it mean you will be a good coach. Like Wayne Gretzky.
He only gave up two hits in 6 innings but struggled with his command and, with 5 strikeouts, it’s not like he was punching tickets up and down the Red Sox lineup.
He reminds me of a right-handed Roger Moret. He has that long and lean frame but good speed on his fastball and sporadic command.
Remember, Zack Greinke isn't impressive because he doesn't compare to 1999 Pedro Martinez, who posted possibly the best season by a pitcher in baseball history. Sweet insight.
