Costly Punch

The Padres are trying to recover some on Khalil Greene's salary:

Greene broke the fifth metacarpal bone in his left hand in punching a Petco Park storage cabinet after his 100th strikeout of the season. The injury caused Greene to miss the season's last two months and nearly a third of the Padres' scheduled games.

On a pro-rated basis, that could leave as much as $1.47 million of his $4.5 million salary in dispute.

The Padres are not only trying to get some money back, but discourage that kind of behavior in the future.
