Do you think that Sanchez has ever had a year like Greinke's 2009 in his arm? Greinke got paid more because teams still see that kind of upside in him.
You're right about the 195 inning thing. Sanchez has dinged that mark a few times in a row now. I do think that Greinke gets extra marks for his health though. His only DL time that I can recall is to recover from an off-season rib injury. I doubt teams are as concerned about the anxiety issue as fans seem to be, and getting a guy who's been a real ace with a clean bill of health is kind of the free agent dream. Though now that I've written that, it seems like a certainty he'll get hurt. Sabathia is kind of the holy grail for free agent pitcher signings, and every season that goes by shows how rare he is.
