Mark DeRosa Still Plays Baseball, Signs with Washington Nationals for One Year
In the midst of rebuilding with several attempts to finally become contenders in the National League East, the Washington Nationals have signed Mark DeRosa out of free agency. This isn't quite as big of news as the Gio Gonzalez trade, but we thought at least Mark deserved some credit for persuading a team to pay him to play for them.
The 36-year-old utility player spent last...

Giants have expressed interest in re-signing Mark DeRosa
Just a quick note — via Ken Rosenthal, the Giants have expressed interest in bringing back Mark DeRosa. There isn’t much to expect from him at this point. Projections are hardly a be-all and end-all, but I think the ZiPS projection for DeRosa in 2012 tells the whole story: .244/.300/.277. He’ll probably get a minor-league contract with an invite to Spring Training, and I wouldn’t...

VIDEO: Mark DeRosa addresses Penn football players
Before he was a Major League Baseball player, DeRosa was a star quarterback at the University of Pennsylvania.
Guess which San Francisco Giant played quarterback for the University of Pennsylvania back in the early to mid ’90s?
That would be utility man Mark DeRosa, who visited with the Penn football team (not to be confused with that other football program in PA) over the...

DeRosa wants SF to move in fences
It's notoriously difficult to hit a home run at AT&T Park. That seems to fit the Giants' pitching staff, but Mark DeRosa thinks the team should consider making adjustments.

I know this is a little late, and borderline irrelevant, but I wanted to touch a little on Mark DeRosa's potentially career-ending wrist injury.He's the type of player every team wants-- at least in theory... a versatile guy who can hit, is a hoot in the clubhouse, and is generally just a valuable piece to have on your baseball-themed chess board.Well... that was 2008 Mark DeRosa...

SF Giants Rumors – DeRosa’s Health and Who’s Playing 3rd Base?
The hot topic for the San Francisco Giants is the health of Mark DeRosa and who’s now going to be playing 3rd base? I like DeRosa and wish he would have been healthy as a Giant. That’s just not how the cards were dealt in this situation. The Giants re-called up Emmanuel Burriss to take DeRosa’s spot on the roster. It’s not clear how long DeRosa will be out...

Mark DeRosa and the Art of Intangibles
Mark DeRosa will be playing in the final year of his two-year $12MM deal this season, and I'm not too excited about it -- for a few reasons:He's nothing special offensively. His career wRC+ of 97 indicates that he's been a slightly below average hitter spanning his entire career. He'll be entering his age-36 season. He's coming off of a wrist injury; and wrist...
