Zack Greinke is one of the 5 best pitchers of his generation. Everything I have seen, studied, and heard leads me to this conclusion. Yesterday, Sean wrote a wonderful article chronicling Zack’s career, and breaking down how he has utilized his all around game and intelligence to enhance his pitching skills and contributions to his team’s. It was the perfect segue into this article on the Hall of Fame case for Greinke.
When I refer to “generation” I am essentially looking at pitchers who’s career began in 1999 or later, so that the bulk of their career overlapped with Zack’s.
