That's comparing apples to oranges, there are so many factors that played in Greinke's season so far, 1 being this is his contract year, the other being that he's been extremely lucky. He currently has the 2nd lowest BABIP in the league at .234, for comparisons sake his career BABIP is .300. Sale is at .290 career wise FYI. If you were wondering why Greinke became so good this year, look no further.

 

Sale will get better in the NL, but he won't shave 1 full run off his ERA. Just because he's facing a pitcher instead of a DH or that you are trying to extrapolate a 91 inning career sample size is not a convincing argument.

see that's the thing it's not just the DH factor. yes, that's part of it but as a league the NL has FAR worse hitters (and pitchers) than the AL.

They currently have two starting pitchers they can rely on. Still think Theo absolutely screwed up trade deadline.

You would be wrong. This season is gravy. You better believe the Flubs are the favorite for David Price.

 

Epstein isn't shortsighted. No high end Cub prospect is worth a rental.

if he signs Price in the offseason, can he afford Arrieta after the 2017 season when hits free agency?
