Short At Short

The Padres dig deep in their farm system and unexpectantly pluck AA shortstop Sean Kazmar. The somewhat anonymous 24 year old, a 5th round pick in 2004, is hitting .264 while never playing above AA. The injury to Khalil Greene exposed a huge hole in the Padres organization. Some would blame this deficiency on drafting local product Matt Bush, while others might question the complete oversight by the front office. FF wonders why the Padres wouldn't have a veteran stop gap in Portland for insurance, Khalil Greene has played a full season one time (2007) in the last four years.
