BOSTON -- Zack Greinke can be playful, bored, funny or insulting, all in the same sentence. When told the Wall Street Journal declared his slider to be the second most difficult pitch to hit in the major leagues behind the slider of the Oakland A's Michael Wuertz, Greinke barely moved his lips to answer.

"Who's Michael Wuertz?" he said.

Near bottom of the second or third question.

Would anybody actually consider trading Greinke away for some minor league talent?
