He should be number two on the Dodgers behind Kershaw.

By what measurables is Greinke better than guys like David Price, Felix Hernandez, and Justin Verlander, plus Kershaw to be considered this good? His Whip is higher, His K rate is lower. Has he been exceptionally unlucky for three straight years with his BABIP? Is he that much better than Jerred Weaver I mean he's a legit top of the rotation guy, but is he top three in the majors? What am I missing? For a free agent he is pretty young, but at nearly 25 million per year, what type of WAR number do you need to justify that?
