In a slow-moving market, the Cardinals are acting quickly. St. Louis answered the biggest question in its 2009 lineup on Thursday, trading for Padres shortstop Khalil Greene. A day earlier, the Cards signed reliever Trever Miller to a one-year contract.

Supplanting a defensive specialist with one of the game's most enigmatic talents, the Cardinals will arrive at next week's winter meetings with at least half of their middle infield equation completed.

The Padres didn't wait until the Winter Meetings next week in Las Vegas to start reshaping their roster.

I wish I could have written something on this earlier in the day, but we always have to wait for the moves to be official before commenting on them. Nevertheless, late last night we agreed to trade Khalil Greene to the Cardinals for RHP Mark Worrell and a player to be named later.
It Might Be Dangerous...You Go First
Mark Worrell, acquired by the Padres in the deal sending Khalil Greene to the Cardinals on Thursday, has racked up 84 saves since St. Louis selected him in the 12th round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft out of Florida International University. But his role in San Diego is far from set in stone.

Even with his bewildering strikeout jags and brittle bones, Khalil Greene gave the Padres far more production than any of their other homegrown position players this decade.
