Greinke struggles in Game 5: Brewers SP Zack Greinke gave up five runs -- two earned -- over 5 2/3 innings of work in Friday's Game 5 of the NLCS. He issued two walks and did not strikeout a batter during his time on the mound. Greinke threw 89 pitches in the contest and allowed seven hits. Milwaukee didn't give him much run support as they would lose to St. Louis, 7-1. (Updated 10/14/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Greinke posted a 3.00 ERA over the final month of the regular season, but he hasn't fared too well in the playoffs. He's posted a 6.17 ERA in the postseason, but despite his struggles Greinke still has plenty of Fantasy value. Greinke finished sixth in the National League with 16 wins during his first season with Milwaukee and will remain a top SP option heading into 2012 Fantasy drafts. (Updated 10/14/2011).

If Rotisserie success is based solely on numbers, why not focus on the stats that matter instead of the names in the draft room? Scott White helps you capitalize on the subtleties of drafting for Roto formats.
After coming over from the Royals in the offseason, Zack Greinke struggled early in 2011. He fractured a rib playing basketball before the season started and did not make his first start until May 4. He would post a 5.66 ERA over his first 12 starts, but went 7-3 over that span thanks to some solid run support. He turned a corner in mid-July and would go 9-3 with a 2.61 ERA over his final 16 outings. He posted more than 200 strikeouts for the first time since 2009 and matched his career high in wins (16). His stuff translates well to the National League and as more or less a co-ace alongside Yovani Gallardo, there is not a ton of pressure on the right-hander. He should be able to put together a solid campaign in 2012, as long as he does not start the season injured again, and numbers close to his Cy-Young campaign are not out of the question. Greinke should be off the board in the first few rounds on Draft Day as a Top 15 Fantasy SP. = (Updated 1/25/12)
