    The Padres will get Mark Worrell and a player to be named from the Cardinals for Khalil Greene, according to MLB.com.
    Worrell deserves a chance to make it as a middle reliever or setup man and will probably have some success at Petco. Still, unless the second player is better than he is, this will go down as quite a deal for the Cardinals.
    Another Worrell in a Padres unifrom. I have no idea if he is related to Tim but every Worrell in MLB has been so far.

    Worrell will have a Cla Meredith like season in San Diego and Cardinal fans will wonder why they traded him, truth is he never got a real chance and he's quite talented

    Mark isn't related to Todd and Tim. Mark is a good pitcher, but he has been asking for a trade. So it isn't much of a surprise that he would be one of the pitchers. I like Worrell, but I'd much rather keep Motte and Perez.

    You could use Worrell as a pinch hitter. lol IIRC he hit a home run in his first at bat as a Cardinal.

    Mark Worrell, the former Cardinals' farmhand shipped to San Diego in the Khalil Greene trade, will have season-ending elbow surgery, the Padres announced.
    The Padres have until April 1st to select the PTBL.

    Re: Khalil traded to St Louis

    Padres acquired RHP Luke Gregerson from the Cardinals to complete the Khalil Greene trade.
    It would have gone down as a very unimpressive trade for the Padres even if Mark Worrell, the other player acquired, didn't blow out his elbow. Gregerson, like Worrell, has closed in the minors. He had a 3.35 ERA and a 78/26 K/BB ratio in 75 1/3 innings for Double-A Springfield last season. With an average fastball and a plus slider, he could be an adequate middle reliever in the majors.
    Not too bad.

    Re: Khalil traded to St Louis

    Gregerson is a college grad pitcher that turns 25 in May. He has consistently been old for the level at which he pitched. He lost his closing job at Springfield last season to Fernando Salas and has control issues. He has upside, but I on't know what his chances of reaching it are.
