FACTS/FLUKES: Greinke, Inciarte, Granderson, W. Castillo, Roark

Greinke likely to be overvalued … Zack Greinke (RHP, ARI) enjoyed a phenomenal 2015 campaign, leading MLB starters in ERA (1.66) and WHIP (0.84). Incidentally, that was also the best ERA for a qualified starting pitcher since 1995 (Greg Maddux 1.63). Can he duplicate that level of success?
