Greene to St. Louis...ALRIGHT HAMILTON!!!

Earlier this week, after signing lefty reliever Trevor Miller, the Cardinals went out and made another major move, trading for Padre SS Khalil Greene. Many of you may not know exactly who Khalil Greene is, outside of the fact that he pretty much is identical to Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. If this is all you know about the guy let me fill ya in on a little secret, he can play baseball too.


Yeah, it's pretty close!!!

Well, to fill everyone in on Khalil Greene, he is a career .248 hitter, who also averages about 16 HR a year along with about 65 RBI's a year. Compared to what Cesar Izturis provided the team last year, it is more than an improvement. Greene did have a very below average last year, due to the fact that he was injured for most of the season. But don't let the low power numbers fool you with Greene, let us not forget he played in probably the biggest pitcher's park in the MLB and has excelled as a hitter away from Petco. Not to mention, the Cards did not give up the franchise to get this guy, so really not that big of a deal if he doesn't pan out, but look for him to put up some pretty solid numbers.
