The Dodgers lost Adrian Beltre after the 2004 season.
Apparently they figured anybody could play third base. Turned out, everybody did.
Beltre’s position became as erratically staffed as the drive-thru window at Arby’s. Anybody who can recite all the Dodger third basemen in the span between Beltre and Justin Turner should either appear on Jeopardy! or get serious counseling.
There was Wilson Betemit, Luis Cruz, Oscar Robles, Blake DeWitt, Aaron Miles, Juan Uribe and Casey Blake, and those were just the guys who led the Dodgers in third-base appearances in any particular year.
Russell Martin took his turns and so did Robin Ventura.
