Brewers not penalizing Greinke

[cruzg24]

Pitcher Zack Greinke had a pretty good run with the Kansas City Royals, winning the 2009 American League Cy Young Award and posting Major League Baseball's lowest ERA that same year (2.16). But the 27-year-old didn't want to be part of a rebuilding team and asked to be traded this offseason.

The team that snagged him, the Milwaukee Brewers, had high hopes for Greinke this year. But that will have to wait a little bit since he cracked a rib playing basketball. Oops.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the team isn't planning to discipline Greinke at all since his contract doesn't outlaw pickup basketball games but does put the kibosh on "competitive basketball."

Brewers GM Bob Melvin told the paper the team hopes Greinke will only be out for two or three games and "admitted the situation might be different if the injury was season-ending or something like that."

exactly. Shit happens. The clause says he cant play competitive but no mention of pickup games so they cant penalize him for that.
