Greinke: Contending For Rotation Spot
Contending for a spot in the Royals rotation, Zack Greinke had his best outing of the spring on Wednesday, striking out six and walking none over four shutout innings vs. the Rockies. Few Kansas City starters have Greinke's upside, even with his 2006 sabbatical. After all, not many 20-year-olds rack up a 1.16 WHIP and a 100/26 K/BB ratio in the Majors, which Greinke did as a rookie in 2004. Sure, it will probably take some time for him to regain such advanced strike-zone command, but he'll likely be good enough to make a rotation that sported baseball's worst ERA last year (5.65).
