In 2001, the Cubs drafted Khalil Greene in the 14th round of the June amateur draft. He wisely didn't sign, as the Padres took him in the first round the following year.
He's not likely to stay in San Diego, according to Corey Brock of mlblogs.
Greene's camp has balked at a long-term deal and were willing to head to arbitration this year
Brock also points out an interesting home/road split
Maybe the hitter-friendly American League or just maybe somewhere other than PETCO Park, where Greene, for his career, is hitting 52 points lower (.228) than on the road (.280)
A couple of people are saying the Cubs are interested. But I haven't found a thing beyond speculation. I can add a bunch more links to "it has been reported" ad naseum, but I won't bother.
I'll see if I find or hear from a reader on a source or starting point for the rumor. I'll check-out his stats, projections, and f/x for a later post.
Meanwhile, I'll quietly hope Theriot-hype has passed its time and the Cubs return him to a utility role. Or at least the bottom of the order.
