Zack Greinke, ace pitcher. "But Hillbilly" you say "His ERA is almost a 4 for his career" Yes, but his FIP (fielding independent pitching) shows that if he had played for good defensive teams, he would be just over a 3 ERA guy. Not to mention he's in the top 5 in WAR since 2008.
Will he cost a lot? in short, YES!! The Braves WILL have to give up Delgado, Spruill,Salcedo and another piece to get him. I have no doubt about that. Not to mention that to extend him will cost 5 or 6 years at $18-$20 mill per year.
But he is worth it.
You throw a 5 man rotation of :
Greinke
Huddy
Sheets
Hanson
Minor
at any team in the playoffs and you are going to be in nearly every single game. He makes the Braves into a division winning team, and a team that can win it all.
IMO, you pay whatever they want, even IF it turns out to be Teheran and Delgado
