Mike Fontenot is having a pretty good spring too. He is ready to be an every day player and the Cubs recognized that and moved DeRosa while his value was still high.
DeRosa was traded to clear salary. He is a great player but not the end of the world.
This was a perfect example of selling high on a player. DeRosa most likely won't put up the numbers he did last year. I just hate the reason Lou and Hendry gave, that the team is too right handed. Who cares which side of the plate a player hits from. I like the trade, just hate the reasoning.
It wasnt actually a trade of Mark DeRosa for Milton Bradley, but thats essentially the reason D-Ro got traded to clear salary for bradley. Milton is going to put up better numbers, is a switch hitter, and i really think Fontenot is going to have a huge year getting to be an everyday guy. him and theriot also have the advantage of playing SS and 2B with eachother for a long *** time
