SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- While 2016 did not go as expected for Zack Greinke and his Arizona Diamondbacks teammates, the ace right-hander is confident that the script will flip in 2017.
"I still have really high hopes for our team," Greinke said. "I thought we were really good going into last year. We pretty much have the same team or a very similar team. I think we should be good. I'm shocked we didn't do better last year. We have a very talented [pitching] staff. Really good. I think we're a good team."
Greinke was shut down a week early last season after experiencing some shoulder stiffness and he missed a little more than a month earlier in the year with an oblique strain.
