Cards pick up Greene from Padres

Baseball Betting Lines

12/04/2008 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Cardinals have reportedly acquired shortstop Khalil Greene from the San Diego Padres.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that two minor league relievers will be heading the other way in the deal.

One year removed from belting 27 home runs, Greene's production dropped drastically last season, as he hit just .213 with 10 homers, while striking out 100 times in 105 games. He also managed only 27 extra-base-hits and 35 RBI after producing 74 extra-base hits and 97 RBI in 2007.

However, he missed the last two months of the season with a fractured left hand.

Greene, who can become a free agent after the 2009 campaign, will become the Cardinals fourth starting shortstop in the last six seasons, following Edgar Renteria, David Eckstein and Cesar Izturis, who started there last season.

The 29-year-old Greene holds a .248 batting average over his six-year career. He has 84 home runs and 328 RBI in 659 games, all with San Diego.
