Plus, if you have a choice for a long term commitment it's just like taking any job. Some people don't want to live in Arizona, Seattle and so forth.
...and some people don't discover they don't wanna live in Seattle till it's too late...a la Robinson "the Yanx disrespected me" Cano. ...lol ...but yeah, i get your point and it's a very valid one...geography does come into play sometimes. But being Dominican, I gotta believe Cueto is still gonna feel like a foreigner wherever he signs...he "no habla".
Yep, You took the words right out of my mouth. Greinke has already stated, (even prior to the Bums getting Zack), that he Only want's to play for a NL Team, .......but then IF I were a Pitcher, and could not play for the Yanx, I too would probably want to stay in the NL, where Liftetime ERA's, et al. remain lower, by close to a full point....X.xx,
Sí, yo quiero ser un lanzador rastafari, ahora dónde está ese Seattle Ganja..... Translated: - Yes, I want to be a Rastafarian pitcher, now where is this Seattle Ganja??? At least Bor-ass doesn't have his greedy claws in Cueto or Greinke, or Mr. Price-$$$
...plus, believe it or not Greinke really enjoys swinging the bat...and for a pitcher he's pretty good with a bat.
Indeed, Zack helped himself out numerous times when he was on the mound. Lethal from both sides of the field, offense, pitching and gold glove caliber glove work......(2014-2015)...!
I'm really hoping NOBODY ups that offer & the Diamondbacks pull it off the table. That's the kind of message MLB needs to send to these greedy bastards.
