UPDATE 12-20-07 4:30PM - As someone rightly pointed out, Jenkins actually signed with the Phillies. I had conflicting reports and I cited the source that a separate blog reported. I apologize for the mix-up. Thanks for the tip!

Geoff Jenkins is now a member of the San Diego Padres, ESPN.com reports. It is believed to be a tw0-year deal, worth around $13MM. He is going to play only against righties, as it was with the Brew Crew.
That is a ridiculous amount for a platoon player, I believe. That is why the Brewers did not renew his contract. I still wish him luck with the Padres, but I'm at a loss for why someone would pay that much for a player on the downswing of his career and cannot hit lefties for the life of him. He does play excellent defense...I'll give him that.

Umm...did you read the story you linked to? The Phillies are signing him, not the Padres.
