The Cardinals winced Monday morning. The San Diego Padres have acquired pitching prospect Luke Gregerson as the player to be named in the Dec. 4 deal that brought the Redbirds shortstop Khalil Greene.

According to media outlets, Luke Gregerson has been acquired by San Diego as the player to be named later to complete the December 4 deal that brought Khalil Greene to the St. Louis Cardinals. Reliever Mark Worrell was the original player to be traded a day after he let his feelings be known to me during this interview. Since that time, it has been learned that Worrell will require Tommy John Surgery and miss the entire 2009 season.

Eh. I liked Gregerson, he had one of the better sinker/slider combos of anyone in the system, but the club has a plethora of right-handed relief as it is. BA rated him the Cards’ 29th best prospect. Last week, it was announced that Mark Worrell is going to undergo Tommy John surgery. So far it’s hard to like this deal from a the standpoint of a Padre fan.

The Cardinals and Padres completed their trade from December on Monday. Pitcher Luke Gregerson is the player to be named later in the deal that sent shortstop Khalil Greene from San Diego to St. Louis. Gregerson joins righty Mark Worrell, who was announced as part of the deal when it first took place on Dec. 4, 2008.
