Two years ago, Zack Greinke was viewed as a talented but quirky pitcher, a Cy Young winner who had mused about walking away from the game again in 2010 after walking away earlier in his career. Now, because of a series of circumstances and events inside and outside of baseball, ranging from peaceful collective bargaining negotiation to an improving U.S. economy to the record-setting sale of the Dodgers, he is the highest-paid right-handed pitcher in baseball history. Another set of dominoes might be falling into place for another pitcher to get an enormous contract a year from now -- Josh Johnson, recently traded to the Toronto Blue Jays.
