Gammons then presented comments he’d picked up from baseball people on the Arizona spring-training circuit:
♦ From a National League GM: “If I bet, which I do not, I’d go to Vegas and put money down on Jack Flaherty to win the Cy Young.”
♦ From an NL assistant GM: “Flaherty has the best stuff in the National League.”
♦ From an NL manager: “Flaherty is Zack Greinke with filthy stuff. What did he have, a 30 percent strikeout rate in his first full season? That’ll get better, a lot better.”
