    Expectations for Greinke with HOU?

    What do you expect from Greinke now that he’s with Houston?

    I am considering a trade for him but have always been gunshy about his diminished velocity. Primarily looking for wins though, so maybe I shouldn’t care.

    What do you think?

    If you're looking for Ws, there aren't many better bets than Greinke.

      In my NL only league, I traded Grienke for Jon Grey the day after Greinke was traded to Houston. We can keep players traded to the AL for the ROS.

      My reasoning was
      - I need strikeouts most
      - I dont like Greinke going to the league with the DH.
      - Fragile psyche for Greinke and this could turn out to be awful.
      After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

        my a.l. only uses wins+quality starts, whip, era, innings, saves

        top three 2019 earners, for pitchers, are Verlander 39, Cole 30 and Greinke 29.

        Quite a trio taking the Astro's into the playoffs

          You could argue nobody does more to win than Greinke. 5-time gold glover with an .880 ops (54 pa) this year, and a solid ip/start. Now he's with the team known for boosting veteran starters. Verlander is 1st in mlb in wins (15), Coel is tied for 2nd with 14

            What's amazing is how Greinke got that high on the earners list in just 1 start.

                Well I just acquired him, so hoping it works out. Thanks for the input everyone. In contrast to hammer, I needed Wins mostly. Figure he’s as good a bet as any in that context (Verlander not available).
