What's the most important thing for a pitcher?
Walks allowed?
Innings pitched?
Something else that determines 'efficiency'?

For me, it's ERA.
Btw, Greene went 6 innings, not 5.
And despite 4 walks and 98 pitches, he's allowed 0 runs yet again.

The week prior, he went 5.1 innings.

Anything 5 and up is considered satisfactory nowadays, especially for a fireballer like Greene.
His WHIP needs to go down, but as long as he's keeping earned runs down, that's what I ultimately want to see.

If the Reds can get Sonny Gray back to go along with Abbott, Greene, Ashcraft, and Williamson next year, I think that could really be enough. Then you can have guys like Phillips and Lodolo as long relief and pushing for spots in the rotation. Plus another couple bullpen additions obviously.
