San Diego Padres shortstop Khalil Greene is about to avoid arbitration with a decent-sized contract.
Though a deal hasn't been finalized, the two sides are nearing a two-year agreement worth roughly $11 million, according to an anonymous source close to negotiations.
The club's homegrown 2007 team MVP batted .254 last season, setting career bests with 27 homers, 44 doubles and 97 RBIs over a career-high 153 games without injury. Greene also set a club mark with a .984 fielding percentage over 690 chances. Nice glove, buddy!
Greene, who resembles one of the greatest slackers of all time, was reportedly set to ask for $4.9 million in arbitration, while the Padres were expected to counter with a $4 million offer.
