Yeah, he's made the expected plays in LF,

but he’s definitely not as comfortable as in RF.

Besides, IMO, the bench players should be the ones moving around. Why can’t Fontenot learn how to play LF????

And, I do think the constant postion switching affects DeRo’s stamina and his bat a little bit.

He doesn't have a DH's bat.

You’re about to make me defend Mike Fontenot and I’m not going to be happy about that. He’s hardly the worst backup second baseman a team can have.

by cwyers on Jul 5, 2008 3:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

But can you defend

putting an extra grind on a starting player by having him accommodate a bench player? If that grind costs DeRo 5 starts per season for 15 points of OPS can you justify what Lou is doing?

First you'd have to establish that he's doing that.

DeRosa, for all of your concern, seems to be having the best season of his career right now.

by cwyers on Jul 5, 2008 3:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

Last year,

his worst month was May, which was also when he moved the most. This year, his June wasn’t so good, and he was moving more with Sori out. I’m more worried about the second half.

Last year, he had a great Sept., but he played almost exclusively 2B.

Small sample size.

You have to heavily regress that to the mean. For the league in general, a guy in an 0-2 count is a very poor hitter, a guy in a 3-0 count is an All-Star.

What's Glaus like defensively at 3B?

His numbers are similar to DeRo’s, but DeRo can play MI (including SS better than Miles).

I also saw that the VEB visitor this morning wanted to foist Kennedy on us. Didn’t he remember that AK and DeRo were FAs the same off-season and the Cards had no interest in DeRo?

To be fair, he wanted to trade him for Marquis.

I’d probably do that deal, find a way to get rid of Kennedy later.

Glaus has done well at third this season, according to ZR.

by cwyers on Jul 5, 2008 3:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's tough for me to judge DeRo's defense at 3B (or anywhere other than SS)

because he moves so much and never has a chance to settle down and concentrate on one position. When he was exclusively a SS (in his early days) he was very good and steady—though certainly not GG.

It is helping the team,

but it certainly doesn’t give DeRo a chance to maximize his ability at any one position. It also means he needs more days off, which costs him ABs.
