Luis Rodriguez, Everth Cabrera, Miguel Tejada, Jerry Hairston Jr., Cabrera (again), Jason Bartlett, Cabrera (again), Andy Parrino, Cabrera (again), Alexi Amarista, Clint Barmes, Alexei Ramirez, Luis Sardinas. What do those guys have in common? They all played shortstop for the San Diego Padres in the endless search for a player to replace Khalil Greene. None proved worthy.
Greene manned the spot from 2003 through 2008 and provided steady and, at times, brilliant defense, combined with power at the plate and a strong work ethic.
