he post-season this year.
A better option at shortstop would be the Padres' Khalil Greene. If the Cardinals acquired Greene, they would probably be able to pay him less than Renteria (Greene's scheduled to make $6.5 million next year), and would get a lot more bang for their buck. In 2007 Greene hit 27 home runs and 97 RBI. If the Cardinals get even get 18 home runs and 65-70 RBI out of him, that would be a huge improvement over 2008. The closest thing the Cards had to an everyday shortstop last yaer was Cesar Izturis, who only batted .263 with one home run and 24 RBI in 135 games. He would've played more if not for an injury in late June that held him out until early July.
