There are 39 pitchers I'd rather have than Cliff Lee and Greinke is one of them.

Personally I like Greinke over Lee. In my $ league, Lee was one of the 50 players kept and Greinke went as the 118th equivalent pick.

i agree completely with the Greinke > Lee opinions. But i still think Lee will have a good year, as long as the Indians do

I find it funny that on yahoo Lee is 98% owned and Greinke is only 88% owned. Pick him up if he's free!!

Also, check out my team see what you think at: http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=374128

I'm not down on Lee as much as many this year (I grabbed him in the 10th in my Cafe league...after Greinke), but I would still take Greinke. Lee pitched out of his mind last season and Greinke has the potential to put up elite numbers...and will certainly put up more K's than Lee (barring injury).

They should be drafted around the same time IMO, with Greinke given the edge due to K's and upside.

how quickly ppl forget about Greinke's mental problems. 3 bad starts in a row and Greinke could implode. I'm not saying Lee is better than greinke, but people are too high on Greinke imo.

Newflash: Greinke's mental problem was an anxiety issue which is very treatable. This is why he hasn't relapsed and unless something bizarre happens, he won't.
