Winter Meetings, With A National Bent

What’s new: Rather than wade into the free-agent market, GM John Mozeliak traded for shortstop Khalil Greene, a guy scouts used to like and now don’t know what to think of. Mozeliak can decide for himself; Greene is owed $6.5 million this season. Veteran lefty Trever Miller was added to the bullpen.

What’s old: They’ve had some trouble keeping the starting rotation upright, though the most recent news on Chris Carpenter’s elbow was positive.

Winter meetings: They – along with every other team roaming The Strip – will root around for starting pitching. Tony La Russa would like a closer to cover Chris Perez’s growing pains. Huston Street could land here.
