There's little debate as to who the best everyday player is, but there's a pretty good debate about who's MLB's best pitcher. I've always been a Santana guy, but Halladay has consistently faced stronger competition. Young guys like Greinke and Lincecum, Hamels...there are really some artists out there.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I like how Grienke's had a good month and a half and KB's ready to put him up there with Santana and Halladay.

I was just referring to the fact that he's on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week, under the title "The Best Pitcher In Baseball."
You should get out more.

Last year, Greinke was 10th in the AL among starters with a 3.47 era and was 5th in K's. He's also been in the league since 2004, so it's not like he's come out of no where.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Right, and he also has a career record of 40-46, and ERA north of 4.00, and a WHIP of 1.3. 2 years ago he wasn't even a full time starter and he's battled emotional issues that have kept him away from the field. I realize he's got great stuff and has potential to be a real good pitcher, but to use his name in the same context as Halladay or Santana, at this point, makes no sense. Also, 10th in the AL in ERA doesn't get you in the conversation with Halladay and Santana.
Also, the fact that KB is using a Sports Illustrated cover as some kind of barometer is laughable. I don't need to get out more, KB needs to learn the meaning of 'context.'
