Nats pursuing DeRosa

Found November 29, 2011 on 22gigantes: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mark DeRosa
TEAMS: Washington Nationals,  San Francisco Giants

The Washington Nationals are reportedly interested in signing free agent Mark DeRosa, according to MLB.com writer Bill Ladson.

DeRosa, 36, was a bust in his two years with the Giants. After being signed to a two-year, $12 million contract in 2010, the oft-injured utility man played in just 73 games, due to a series of problems with his wrist. DeRosa batted .194/.279/.258 with 1 HR and 10 RBI in 2010 and .279/.351/.302 with 0 HR and 12 RBI in 2011. To say his power has been sapped due to the wrist injury would be an understatement.

The Nats, are hoping DeRosa can provide insurance behind regular first baseman Chris Marrero, who injured himself in winter ball. Good luck with that.

I hope you enjoyed reading "Nats pursuing DeRosa." I'm interested in your opinion on this article. Why not leave a comment at 22gigantes.com?

On the Sabean Extension

Via SF Giants Nirvana  |  November 29, 2011
It’s relatively easy to objectively evaluate players. That’s not the case with managers or GMs, however — though I gave my best shot at it earlier with respect to the Bochy extension. Now, I’ll tackle the Sabean extension. The fact of the matter is, the process of an organization’s decision-making extends beyond the GM. Always. He often gets all the credit or blame for...
