Khalil Greene sidelined with broken finger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Padres shortstop Khalil Greene has a broken bone in his right index finger that is expected to keep him out of the starting lineup for the rest of the regular season.

Greene committed a throwing error on the play -- his 20th error of the season -- and was removed in the next inning. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2004/09/15/sports2105EDT0486.DTL&type=printable   (420 words)

Born Oct. 21, 1979, in Butler, Pa., Greene was swinging a Whiffle ball bat by the age of 2. Greene was like a “fish out of water” when he arrived at Clemson, says Kyle Frank, a team captain and his roommate as a freshman. Greene is known for his quick wit with one-liners that cause teammates and coaches to burst out laughing. www.uga.edu /bahai/2002/020530.html   (1995 words)

Baseball America Online - 2002 Player of the Year: Khalil Greene Greene went from 14th-round pick of the Cubs in 2001 to the 13th overall selection, by the Padres, in 2002. Greene thought he'd be doing it in pro ball after leading Carey's Conchs to a Florida 3-A title and ending his career as the school's all-time hits and runs leader. Greene had 129 hits entering the CWS and had three hits in the Tigers' opener, making him just the second player in Division I history to pass 400 hits (Phil Stephenson of Wichita State from 1979-82 is the other). www.baseballamerica.com /today/leagues/NCAA/greenepoy062002.html   (1023 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > San Diego Padres -- Greene won admiration, if not honor as top rookie Greene wielded a dangerous bat, too, and his defense was so profound that teammate David Wells, 41, favorably compared him with former All-Star teammates such as Derek Jeter, Tony Fernandez and Barry Larkin. For some, choosing between the two was as challenging as deciding which of Greene's skills was more prominent: his playmaking knack at the critical shortstop position or his powerful bat, which was booming at the time a broken finger ended his season on Sept. 13. Greene's defensive value was both obvious and enormous to Padres opponents and scouts, but defensive statistics aren't as precise as those on offense, and numbers readily available to voters showed Greene ranked near the bottom in fielding percentage and range. www.signonsandiego.com /sports/padres/20041107-940-greene.html   (873 words)

San Diego CityBEAT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) And while Spicoli possesses exponentially more mischievousness than the somber shortstop, Greene’s surfer haircut (long, blonde, parted in the middle) and the baggy drape of his oversized Padres uni suggest that if life were anything like the movies, he would never be cast in the role of a pro baseball player. Greene says he weighs 190 now, that the days of 210 were when he played third base early in his Clemson career. Greene mentions his major in college, sociology, and how he learned that schizophrenics create “like a word salad of lyrical material.” It’s not unlike what he aims for in his own writing. www.sdcitybeat.com /article.php?id=2242   (1708 words)
