[情報] The Cardinals’ PTBNL Finally has a Name
JUPITER, Fla. — 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.
The selection is hardly a throwaway. Gregerson, 24, impressed manager Tony La
Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan during a couple late-inning appearances
in Grapefruit League games. Duncan, who typically holds young arms to a high
standard, mentioned Gregerson on multiple occasions as someone he would like
to see again. Gregerson possesses above-average command of a sinking
fastball. He had made the Florida State League All-Star Game and Texas League
All-Star Game in his two full professional seasons. Gregerson last season
allowed RH hitters a .202 average and six extra-base hits in 217 plate
appearances with 59 strikeouts against only 11 walks.
Gregerson was 7-6 with a 3.35 ERA in 57 relief appearances at Springfield
last season. A 28th round selection in the 2006 amateur draft, Gregerson is
an Illinois native who attended St. Xavier University. The Cardinals placed
him in the Arizona Fall League after last season. He departs having struck
out 196 against 61 walks in 172 1/3 innings in three professional seasons.
The Cardinals sent submariner Mark Worrell to the Padres at the time of the
trade. Worrell, who made four relief appearances for the Cardinals last June,
became disgruntled over a lack of major league opportunity in St. Louis and
made known his desire to be traded shortly before the Greene deal. The Padres
announced last week Worrell would require elbow ligament replacement surgery
and be lost for the 2009 season.
In other camp news:
Closer candidate Chris Perez just completed a 10-minute side session without
complication and, according to La Russa, third baseman Troy Glaus is no
longer considered a possibility to return from a January surgery until May….
Dennys Reyes was scheduled to throw live batting practice this morning but
the session has been postponed pending a team physical.

Gregerson不錯的右手牛,應該有機會上大聯盟,
但是看到Greene春訊的表現,而我們農場又有很多右手牛,
所以這筆交易應該算不錯了。
