Green eager to settle roster, formulate plan

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For as much as Andy Green would love to dream a little with what his potential Opening Day lineup might look like, the first-year manager of the Padres still isn't to the point where he can play with the possibilities.

Not on Dec. 9. And certainly not with a lot left to be done to the team's 25-man roster.

"More than anything, our club is in the midst of a redesign to some degree … it's hard to put down [names] when you don't know the pieces," Green said during his session Wednesday with reporters at the third day of the Winter Meetings.
