Zach Greinke HOF material?

[kburjr]

35 with at least 2 more years under contract. Not showing signs of slowing down yet

197-122 should go over 200 this year If he plays 3 years, he should go over 250 wins

ERA 3.36 He has been below that for the last 3 years

2563 SO If he pitchers 3 more years a lock for 3000 k

1 Cy Young



Have to say yes.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I think he is if he retired today, quite frankly.

A couple years and he has a good shot at hitting many more traditional milestones more traditionalist voters will be looking for.

 

[Chewbaccer]

The dude had a mental breakdown pitching for a terrible Royals team. He does not need access to a microphone at a HOF induction ceremony. Give him the Pete Rose treatment, and induct him after he's dead.

 

[Mondo Jay]

He is.

 

[Mofo]

Pretty good in this era, when every hitter is jacked and swinging for the fences.

I personally dont think he is hot material. I think he is right on the outside coming up just short. would you put him in the same conversation as Roger Clemens. I wouldnt end of story

You could say that for most all the hall then if Roger Clemens is the standard.

 

[Rambunctious]

yes

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I have him as the 4th best current pitcher.


5th best is CC and he is in.

But not sure if greinke is in YET!! But I do expect him to be.

that's an extremely lofty standard. that's like comparing position players (say Griffey Jr.) to Barry Bonds. He's not remotely comparable, but I'd still say Griffey Jr. is an inner-circle HOFer.

He's a space cadet

Clemens was using something or another since the early 90's. He ever gets into the HOF, then the place loses all meaning. If Rivera gets into the hall so does Greinke

there's already cheaters in the HOF. who cares

So just roll out the carpet for perhaps the most brazen cheater of all? Ok

 

[VikingFan2k2]

I think the guy that helped him would take exception to the "Most Brazen" title.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Easy yes. Can't wait for the speech.

please you cant put Rivera and Greinke in the same sentence. Rivera is in his own class all by himself.

Rivera was a closer. I’m starting to feel sorry for you.

That’s idiotic.

I agree. Associating pitchers that throw 60-70 innings per year with starting pitchers is laughable.
