When I said Cy Young pitcher I meant the quality of pitcher not the reward.
Do man crushes always run this deep around here? You guys are too defensive

Too defensive? Man crush? We clearly disagree. And I am fine with that. I stated my opinion (as did Legal and ManRam), its okay to do that. Do you not like seeing counter-opinions to your own so you take it as other's being irrational fan-boys?

I'm not defensive of him and I do not have a Man Crush. I just like his pitches and his approach -- my unbiased, objective opinion.

I simply disagree with your opinion that you "don't think he will ever be very good again" and "he has way too many issues" and stated why I think he'll see continued success. I'm basing this on closely watching over 100 of his starts the past 5+ years.

I personally don't care if Greinke is ever any good again (I have nothing to gain from it, I'm not friends with him, though I wish him well just like most everybody else in the world). If that equals Man Crush, then I have some thinking to do.

Slow down. Talk about condemning someone, sheesh.
I wasn't even talking about his social anxiety.
Maybe you shouldn't "condemn" me by pretending to know what I am thinking.
Let me clarify please.
Greinke in my mind will never be great again. I believe that he is too streaky and too hard on himself to ever be a Cy Yound pitcher again. The presure he puts on himself will overwhelm him I believe.

"The issues you condemn him for he has handled really well for the last few years. {One such issue,} He has taken control of his social anxiety and frankly who cares if he doesnt like being in a crowd of strangers, last I checked there's usually only one guy standing on the mound at a time. "

What I meant by that was you were saying his "ISSUES" would be his undoing. Zack has many "ISSUES":
1. He hates losing
2. has trouble staying focused when not winning
3. gets bored when only playing once every 5-6 days.
a. would prefer to be a position player
