Re: Cueto or Greinke?

I like Cueto, but I don't think this is even close. Greinke's current FIP shows where his talent is. Kansas City has and has had a poor defense behind him and their long/middle relief has been really rough. That 64% LOB% is ridiculously and unsustainably low given his HR/rate.

In some ways, you could consider Cueto a Greinke light. Similar repertoire, but quite as good as stuff nor control/command.
