The idea of Zack Greinke toeing the rubber at Yankee Stadium as a member of the New York Yankees does little to stifle strong opinions. On one hand, some fans see Zack Greinke as a starting pitcher with dominant skills that would be able to slot seamlessly into the top of the New York Yankees’ rotation.

I don’t know any more than they do so I can’t comment on if Zack Greinke would or would not have more trouble operating as a member of the New York Yankees than any other team.

Boras taking his time with Fielder deal
To the question, "What the heck is taking Prince Fielder so long to sign a contract?" his agent, Scott Boras, essentially replies, "These things take time."
Fielder is a rare free agent, a 27-year-old slugger with 230 career homers -- or 41 more than Alex Rodriguez had when he first hit the open market, though A-Rod in 2000-01 was two years younger.
