Why do I get the feeling they will go after Greinke? Would he be a rental?
No reason to go after Greinke. The staff ERA is more than a full run below league average at 2.95. Each of Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmermann, Jackson, and Detwiler have been very good this year. The price for Greinke wouldn't be anywhere close to worth what we would be getting out of him above whoever he would replace. The only reason to even consider Greinke would be if the Nats will really not let Strasburg pitch in the playoffs. But I still refuse to believe that would be the case. You don't go into the playoffs without your ace period. I believe assuming we are in the playoff rotation will be Strasburg, Gonzalez, and Zimmermann.
