Joe Pos with a neat observation on Greinke - he's not the only HOF'er (lets assume) to play for 6 different teams, but he might be the only to switch teams so often in his prime. Bobby Bonds and Sheffield maybe come close but its not like Zack, where he's pretty clearly been in his 'prime' state for nearly his whole career (minus a couple of seasons I guess)

xp Fisher was never going to develop nicely in already stacked Houston. I think he is a fine project that will be worth 1-2 WARs in a position of need (outfield) for next few controlled years to come. Acuna he is not, but I am not even sure Sanchez + Biagini combined were worth 1 WAR over the last 2 seasons, in positions the Jays have more depth in.

xp also kenny lofton (not a hall of famer, but pretty close!)
though most of his team-switching was after his prime

maybe the closest guy to Greinke would be Gaylord Perry? when it's all said and done i can see them winding up w/similar WAR numbers. Greinke just cleared 70 on bWAR, Perry finished w/90.

I'd figure Gausman is to add innings to the Reds bullpen, as they are seriously gassed at this point.
