Zack Greinke is showing signs of life. He threw a complete game two-hit shutout in Wichita on Monday night, striking out 12 guys and walking just one. At one point he retired 16 guys in a row. I love what Dayton Moore said about his performance:“This was his first dominant outing,” Moore said. “Let him have four or five dominant outings. I’ve always used that as a guideline. If somebody dominates a league four or five straight starts, then you consider moving him.”
In the past, Greinke would have been called up immediately. But in his 7 appearances, he’s 3-1 with a 5.91 ERA. So, he hasn’t shown a pattern of consistency yet that would warrant a call up. And I like the fact that Moore isn’t in a hurry.
