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.

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

"A difference-maker".

Hmm. I guess we won’t likely be hearing from NBF in this thread.

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.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
