From ESPN: DeRo is Awesome
Indians: Mark DeRosa, 3B
...DeRosa [is] far and away the best chip in town if they decide to sell. He's already up to 13 homers, 48 RBIs and 46 runs scored. And only six other players in the whole sport can match him in all three categories, none of them third basemen or second basemen. So Mark DeRosa gets more marketable by the minute.
"This guy's a winner," said an executive of one of many interested teams. "He just has that presence of a winner out there. If somebody grabs this guy, he'll be a difference-maker down the stretch." Asked what position DeRosa ought to play -- second, third or left field -- the same exec laughed and replied: "All of them."

Never heard of him...
(Secretly wishing we could get him back)
Someday we'll go all the way...

I too want him back but
I am curious as to what everyone suggest we trade for him. Because of his versatility he should have numerous teams trying to trade for him. I think they Indian will demand a decent package.

I can tell you that Jim Hendry wasn't the executive they talked to
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

"A difference-maker".
Hmm. I guess we won’t likely be hearing from NBF in this thread.

Just keep waving the red cape in front of the bull, Al
for the slighly less-hairy version of Todd Walker.

I would love to have the guy back
but I highly doubt this happens. Hendry isnt going to admit a mistake, I doubt the Indians would even take the crap back we got for him.
