Greinke back in KC

I hadn't realized until tonight that Zack Greinke has been called back up to the Royals for the first time this season.

I'm happy that the guy has seemingly worked through his psychological problems and is back pitching in the major leagues again.  I actually had hopes that the Indians could somehow get him for a song, but those chances are probably out the window, now that the Royals are under new management that appears to have a clue what they are doing.

Still, I don't understand why they are using ZG out of the bullpen.  As far as I know he's supposed to be a starter next year--he was starting in AA this whole summer--and it's not like the Royals' rotation is any great shakes right now....why not get him two or three big-league starts to build on?

Re: Greinke back in KC
Glad to see him back. One of the pitchers I enjoy watching the most.

I can only imagine he's in the bullpen because they're trying to get him low leverage, low pressure innings. But who knows. It could just be because Buddy Bell is absolutely terrible.
