Sleeper of the Day - Monday, January 28th

Zach Greinke - SP - Kansas City Royals

It's extremely easy to either forget about this guy or write him off due to his various disappointments, but the guy has the stuff to be an elite starter in this league. After taking a year off to deal with his personal issues, Greinke was largely ineffective before being moved to the bullpen at one point in time last year. When he returned to the rotation in late August, he posted a 2.03 ERA which is indicative of what he is capable of.

Predicted numbers: 13-9, 3.39 ERA, 135 Ks, 1.18 WHIP

That is a good one... I would like to see him get out of K.C. I believe one of his major problems is in his head and nothing to do with his mechanics. I think he had some kind of mental illness of some kind

Yea he had some sort of anxiety issue where he felt uncomfortable in front of strangers. I used to be kind of the same way where I'd absolutely hate being in groups I didn't know. Not anymore but it used to make it hard to concentrate on anything other than anxiety and I'm sure he has it on a much larger scale.
