Padres Acquire Justin Huber
According to Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star, the Padres have acquired Justin Huber from the Royals for a player to be named later. He's a good candidate to see time in left field for San Diego since he's out of options. Backing up Adrian Gonzalez at first probably isn't an option given Tony Clark's presence.
The 25 year-old gets a .255/.322/.420 projection from PECOTA and .279/.334/.437 from ZiPS. Baseball America spoke of a team official who compared Huber to Matt Diaz. It's a decent low-risk acquisition for Kevin Towers once again.
