PHOENIX -- Imagine an alternate universe in which Zack Greinke drives an armored truck out of San Francisco this past winter instead of signing for $206.5 million with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Then imagine where Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija would've gone, because the Giants certainly couldn't have afforded either one. The Dodgers, maybe?It is far too soon to make a final judgment on last winter's great free-agent arms race. For a starting pitcher, a six-year contract is measured in geologic time. But the Giants certainly got more for less in their 4-2 victory at Chase Field Thursday night.
